I've been trying so hard for so long now    To separate what I need from what I want    I've got a few friendly faces in so many towns    I've got a million reasons to smile and so few to frown       I don't need a thing but you and a six-string       It's been kind of hard going town to town    ever since my bicycle broke down    but tonight your smiling faces make it all worth while    because I don't need grace I don't need style       I don't need a thing but you and a six-string       When we are older    We'll lay down our lives for the forest    When we are older    We'll lay down our bodies for the mountains       I won't need a thing but you and a six-string       So put a quarter in my jukebox and I'll play you a country tune
