    Story Behind the Song
    It reads like a metaphor (and perhaps it is), but it's also an absolutely true story!

    Lyrics
    this girl I knew back in the day
    owned a guitar she couldn't play
    it just sat there collecting dust
    with steel strings half turned to rust

    its action was absurdly high
    its tuning often went awry
    but in a pinch it could be played
    for an impromptu serenade

    all that tension was a strain on the body
    for it was so lightly braced
    I went out and bought a set made of nylon
    but they never were replaced

    I'm not sure how the story ends
    we could be lovers, could be friends
    we just sit there collecting dust
    with steel strings half turned to rust
