Lyrics

Me and My Guitar Yves Stilmant © 2025
[Verse 1]
Started out with a beat-up six-string
Backseat dreams and a mind full of big things
Small town talk said, "Kid, you'll fall hard"
But I packed up my hopes in that old junkyard car
Played to empty rooms and smoky bars
Living on ramen and chasing stars
They laughed when I said I'd go far
Now they're all singin' along in the back of the bar
[Pre-Chorus]
Every mile, every scar
Built a fire in my heart
[Chorus]
It was me and my guitar
One light, one dream, one broken-down car
From the back roads to the neon stage
Through the silence and the screaming rage
They all said I'd never get this far
But look at me now, I'm a rising star
And this song's for the times that left a mark--
Just me and my guitar
[Verse 2]
Met a thousand souls in a thousand towns
Some built me up, some tried to tear me down
Slept in truck beds under motel signs
Wrote my story one chord at a time
They threw stones, I built a wall
Out of every no, I stood tall
Now the same voices that told me no
Are in the front row at my sold-out show


[Pre-Chorus 2]
All the nights under the stars
Made me who I truly are
[Chorus]
It was me and my guitar
One mic, one voice, one beat-up heart
From the bar floor to the firefly sky
Through the heartbreaks that passed me by
They all said I'd never get this far
But look at me now, I'm living large
Wrote this for the ones who lit the spark--
Just me and my guitar
[Bridge]
Now I stand where dreams come true
Still playin' like I've got nothin' to lose
I made it here through all the pain
So I'll keep strummin' through the flame
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, it's me and my guitar
One shot, one soul, one battle scar
From the first chord to this final line
It's been my lifeline every time
They all said I wouldn't leave a mark
But I burned my name into the dark
And this anthem's for every underdog's heart--
Just me and my guitar
[Outro]
Yeah, it's me...
Me and my guitar
