Guitar Case Full of Postcards

by Max Solano

“The stickers on my guitar case are a map of every plaza that fed me. I opened it up and out came a song.”

Lyrics

Old guitar case with the stickers worn thin
Open it up and the sunshine spills in
Postcards from the places that I used to roam
Every one of them says come on home

Pick one out, read it loud
Sing it to the morning crowd

Oh, guitar case full of postcards
Every little stamp is a song
Oh, guitar case full of postcards
Sing along, sing along
Blue sea, gold town, a friendly wave
Every day's a brand new serenade

One from a harbour with a ringing bell
One from a hillside, I remember it well
Scribbled in a hurry with a smile in the ink
Wish you were here, that's all I think

Pick one out, read it loud
Sing it to the morning crowd

Oh, guitar case full of postcards
Every little stamp is a song
Oh, guitar case full of postcards
Sing along, sing along
Blue sea, gold town, a friendly wave
Every day's a brand new serenade

Clap your hands, one two three
Send a hello back to me
Write it down, mail it out
That's what happy's all about

Oh, guitar case full of postcards
Every little stamp is a song
Oh, guitar case full of postcards
Sing along, sing along
Blue sea, gold town, a friendly wave
Every day's a brand new serenade

Postcards, postcards, sing along
Every little stamp is a song
