Let The Guitar Howl

Wild jack takes the queen of hearts
Joker’s missing, gonna tear me apart
Got nobody, that’s the way things are
I’ve been up all night rockin’ my guitar
Let the guitar howl
Let the guitar howl
Turtle on the fence post, legs hangin’ down
Put there by somebody, evil goin’ round
I can’t see all this wicked world
Struck blind by lightning and doin’ me wrong, girl
Let the guitar howl
Let the guitar howl
Late over in the evening, sun going down
Really miss the girl, wannna hold her in my arms
Let the guitar howl
Let the guitar howl
Last night my horse went down on her knees
This morning she’s graveyard dead as you please
Couldn’t be with her when she lay down her head
You know it’s tears and a tractor when you bury the dead
Let the guitar howl
Let the guitar howl
Mother’s gone, father, sister too
I’ll see ’em soon for sure when this system’s through
Right now having trouble the way things are
I’ve been up all night rockin’ my guitar
Let the guitar howl
Let the guitar howl
Late over in the evening, sun going down
Really miss the girl, wannna hold her in my arms
Let the guitar howl
Let the guitar howl
