Burn Slow - Old Man's Guitar (Official Music Video) | Acoustic Soul Ballad

Some fathers never say "I'm proud of you." They say it some other way. "Old Man's Guitar" is about a man who finds his late father's old guitar in the attic, under his mother's quilt. It has a dusty case, rusted brass latches, dull strings, and fingerprints worn into the wood. His father worked the mill from dawn to dusk and never said much, but at night he played on the porch while the crickets sang. Now the son has a boy of his own, and he finally hands the guitar down. Put it on, slow down, and call your old man if you still can. 🔥 Subscribe to Burn Slow Music for more late-night acoustic soul. --- LYRICS [Verse 1] Found it in the attic under Mama's quilt Dust on the case and the hinges built To hold a little secret, hold a little pain Old brass latches rusted by the rain [Verse 2] Strings gone dull and the neck still true Fingerprints worn where his hand went through Every scratch is a Saturday night Every crack is a song he never got to write [Pre-Chorus] And I tune it slow, string by string Till I hear him in the ring [Chorus] Oh, old man's guitar, you still know the way Play me the words that he couldn't say He was hard as the ground, he was soft in the dark Now I hold what he left in this old man's guitar [Verse 3] He worked the mill from the dawn to the dusk Came home tired with his hands full of rust Never said much, never said "I'm proud" But he played it on the porch when the crickets got loud [Bridge] Now I'm older than he was back then Got a boy of my own and I don't know when I'll find the words, so I'll let it ring Maybe love's just a song you were too scared to sing [Final Chorus] Oh, old man's guitar, you still know the way Play me the words that he couldn't say He was hard as the ground, he was soft in the dark Now I hold what he left in this old man's guitar [Outro] Hand it down, hand it down --- Credits Artist: Burn Slow Channel: Burn Slow Music Production note: This music video is AI-assisted.
