Strings Attached by Nick Young

Down on the porch, the sun’s sinking low,
I’ve got my old guitar and a new tale to show.
With a riff and a strum, she sings in my hand,
This six-string beauty, oh she understands.

Every fret’s a memory, each chord’s a smile,
Dancing on the bridge, we sit here awhile.
But when I play that tune, the one she loves best,
It's like the strings are tugging right outta my chest.

With strings attached, love’s a melody we spin,
From the headstock to my heart, where every song begins.
Tuning our love with the turn of a peg,
These strings attached, no, I’ve got no regrets.

She’s got that vibrato that shakes me inside,
Like a whammy bar heart on a rollercoaster ride.
Low action on my frets makes it easier to play,
But loving her’s a song that changes keys everyday.

She’s the capo shifting up, raising every tone,
With her, my life’s a tablature I’m never playing alone.
And though love's intonation might not always be right,
We find harmony in the bittersweet twilights.

With strings attached, love’s a melody we spin,
From the headstock to my heart, where every song begins.
Tuning our love with the turn of a peg,
These strings attached, no, I’ve got no regrets.

Oh, the pickup of my spirit, when she walks through the door,
Every scale and every note, seems to mean so much more.
This love’s a chord progression, a never-ending blend,
With her, every heartache, I’d play again.

Nut to the saddle, she’s the music in my soul,
A tune that’s more precious than silver and gold.
Yet with every sweet melody, there’s a minor key,
Love's got its costs, but she’s the song meant for me.

So we play this life, with its ups and its downs,
In our rustic country home, love abounds.
With my guitar and my girl, yeah, there’s strings attached,
But in this love song we’ve made, we’re perfectly matched.

With strings attached, love’s a melody we spin,
From the headstock to my heart, where every song begins.
Tuning our love with the turn of a peg,
These strings attached, no, I’ve got no regrets.
