About This Song


This is a country song, it wouldn't let me change it for some reason. It is a fun song I wrote when I was 18 about how I got my first guitar.

Feedback Requested


Would love any feedback or cowriting opportunities.

This slaps!! Totally connected with that “sitting shotgun” line. Experienced that 1st hand although in reverse (LOL) I Dig This! “Keeping your guitar” angle is pure gold! I love it! This song is very relatable. Well done!

Verse 1

You walked out on me.
And before my tears could dry.
I saw her ridin’ shotgun—
That’s a coward’s goodbye.



Pre-Chorus

You said you want your things.
But after all that leaving.
I’d love to see you try.
We should just call it even.



Chorus

You left with my heart, but I got your guitar.
It’ll bring me more joy than you did by far.
So here’s to the pain, the lessons as well.
I’ve got your guitar, and my story to tell.



Verse 2

Your fingerprints are fadin’ fast.
My eyes are on the future, my foot’s on the gas.
You can keep her, but not your Martin.
This isn’t my tragic ending—
My story’s just startin’.



Bridge

Now I play it loud when I’m missin’ your lies.
Singin’ my freedom under neon lights.
You gave me heartbreak, I turned it to art.
Every chord’s a stitch in my brand-new heart.



Final Chorus

You left with my heart, but I got your guitar.
It’ll bring me more joy than you did by far.
So here’s to the pain, all the lessons learned.
I’ve got your guitar, and now it’s my turn.



Outro (tag)

You got my heart, but I kept your guitar.


Oh you left with my heart....but I'm keeping your guitar.
