Lyrics for Somebody Stole My Guitar
By Deep Purple

Email icon Email these lyrics to a friend

Remind me to tell you 'bout the old silver miner
Name of Hard Rock Pete, had his house built on a slope
They say one of his legs lived in Calico
And there's a rumour going round that the other lived in hope
So I walked in the room and I stopped
I turned around and looked over my shoulder
And a voice close beside me said
"You'd better watch your head, the party is over"

Somebody stole my guitar
They took it from the back seat of my car

It wasn't long before the waitress came over and said
"Can I freshen up your drink?
And have you heard of these boys?
And if you feel inclined to buy some cowboy boots?
Well it's not that bad, we can talk above the noice"
So I sucked on my beer
Shut my eyes and tried to listen to the words
I know I missed the meaning
But the message was something I'd already heard

Somebody stole my guitar
They took it from the back seat of my car

Johnny Ringo's voice is getting deeper
And now he's going to put another lock on the door
The night is getting later, my head is getting lighter
The mood is getting darker, Tequila being poured
So I smile at the old gunslinger
In his frame on the wall as he pushed back his hat
And it's all coming back
I'd cut a long story short but it's much too late for that

Somebody stole my guitar
They took it from the back seat of my car

I was sleeping in Memphis in my hotel room
Somebody stole my guitar
