Story behind the song

I was wandering around pawn shops looking for a guitar and I started to wonder what the story was behind all these guitars.

Lyrics

Oh! Pawn shop guitar, where will your next home be?
Oh! Pawn shop guitar-next to a dusty old TV.
Did your owner sell you cheaply when he got in trouble deeply, 
or just trade you for a Wii?

Oh! Pawn shop guitar, do you ever bust out this cage?
Oh! Pawn shop guitar, did you ever shine once on the stage?
Ever play a big arena, up where everyone could hear you, 
getting strummed by Jimmy Page?


Bridge:
With a little help from my parents one day, I brought you home.  You were mine to play.
You kept my interest for a month or two.  Then, it was on to something better and new….
Soccer!


Oh! Pawn shop guitar, I’ll ask the clerk to let you down.
Oh! Pawn shop guitar, I love your rusty, scratchy sound.
But, they want four hundred bucks and that seems rather high…
And the season starts for ducks and there’s a shotgun caught my eye…
And a brand new rider-mower that I always wanted to buy…
But, I should really buy that ring, 
show my girl she ain’t no fling…
but for that I’ll need a loan!
