Bigger Guitar
Copyright 1997 Virgil Brown

Plugged in and tuned low
The tubes are starting to glow
I’ve got three more sets to go
And that’s about all I know
I take a break, there’s a man at the bar,
He says “listen man if you wanna go far…”

What you need is a bigger guitar
With a bigger guitar you could really go far
Look and see, that little guitar ain’t getting you nowhere
What you need is a bigger guitar
With a bigger guitar you could really go far
Look and see, that little guitar ain’t getting you nowhere

I’m twangin’ strings, I’m on fire
like a rancher stretching Barbwire
I keep grabbing for that tone
Like a bulldog grabs a bone
Then the waitress pulls me aside
She says “listen man I’m on your side…”

What you need is a bigger guitar
With a bigger guitar you could really go far
Look and see, that little guitar ain’t getting you nowhere
What you need is a bigger guitar
With a bigger guitar you could really go far
Look and see, that little guitar ain’t getting you nowhere

Bridge:
If you happen to see the girl I lost please tell her
That I made it back even though I’m stuck in this bar
If you happen to see the girl I lost please tell her
But I took your advice and I got me a bigger guitar
She used to say “what you need is a bigger guitar.”
She used to say “what you need is a bigger guitar.”

What you need is a bigger guitar
With a bigger guitar you could really go far
Look and see, that little guitar ain’t getting you nowhere
What you need is a bigger guitar
With a bigger guitar you could really go far
Look and see, that little guitar ain’t getting you nowhere
