Steel strings on a neck of wood
they’re ‘bout all that I can trust
this guitar always sings the truth
it’s good and fair and just
unlike you

Now the blues they are the darndest thing
they ain’t doing what they should
they don’t get me satisfied
and I don’t think they ever could
Unlike you

The blue sky and the highway, they’ve never let me down
They’ve never broken this heart of mine in pieces on the ground
They’ve been true - unlike you

There was a time when I had faith in you
now that time is gone
Why the hell did you do what I never would do
and why am I still hangin’ on
Unlike you

The blue sky and the highway, they’ve never let me down
They’ve never broken this heart of mine in pieces on the ground
They’ve been true - unlike you

There are things you can’t explain
UFOs and love and the smell of rain
This must be one of these things

And I hang on to the notion
That truth and beauty, they are one
If that’s so then the very truest thing
I ever laid my eyes upon
Must be you

The blue sky and the highway, they’ve never done me wrong
But they’ve never kissed and held me and loved me all night long
Through and through - unlike you
The whole night through, unlike you
So please be true
