[Verse 1]
First time I heard it, I fell in love
I knew I had to learn it
I just couldn't get enough
Cause no Sunday church piano
Had ever done that to me
Since that day I've been workin' on just what you see
I’ve worn a handle plum off a shovel
Swung the head of a hammer or two
But that don't drive the girls crazy
Like me and this thing do

[Chorus]
I ain’t in it for the money
If I was I'd do something else
Ain't in it for the fame
I damn sure ain't in it for my health
I play this thing til the sun come up
For nothing but the love
Hey, nothin’ kick starts my heart like guitar

[Verse 2]
It's got me a lot of girls
And it's cost mе jobs
It's lost me some good girls
The last onеs in Arkansas
They love the way I play ramblin' man
But hate it when it's time to move
I'm gonna keep pickin'
Cause that's what I was born to do
[Chorus]
Ain't in it for the money
If I was I'd do something else
Ain't in it for the fame
I damn sure ain't in it for my health
I play this thing til the sun come up
For nothing but the love
Hey, nothing kick starts my heart like guitar

[Chorus]
Ain't in it for the money
If I was I'd do something else
Ain't in it for the fame
I damn sure ain't in it for my health
I play this thing til the sun come up
For nothing but the love
Hey, nothing kick starts my heart like guitar

[Outro]
I said nothing kick starts my heart like guitar
