After all this time I can still remember
It was on display in that pawn shop window
All I ever wanted was sitting right there
That 1972 electric blue Fender guitar
♪
Learned every song from Waylon to Zeppelin
We must've played every bar from Charlotte to Destin
That old guitar went missing one night and I
I hate to admit, but I sat down and I cried
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone, 'til it's
Nothing more than a memory in the back of your head like a song
Don't really feel it 'til you gotta move on
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
♪
You come to that age when you feel your world changing
When your friends are getting married and people start leaving
The day I left I swore I'd never look back
But looking back now on those days I've been thinking that
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone, 'til it's
Nothing more than a memory in the back of your head like a song
Don't really feel it 'til you gotta move on
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh
Whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh
Whoa-oh-whoa
There's always that girl that you let walk away
Should have swallowed my pride, should have begged her to stay
I haven't seen Sara in God knows when
But when I close my eyes I can feel her in my arms again
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone, 'til it's
Nothing more than a memory in the back of your head like a song
Don't really feel it 'til you gotta move on
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh
Whoa-oh-whoa
Until it's gone
Whoa-oh-whoa
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh (yeah)
Whoa-oh-whoa
