Almost sold my bass

Happened just the other day. My Gibson Thunderbird was getting kinda old. My new Stingray had shown me the way. But I didn’t, and now I know why. Playing it again just made me fly. And I feel like I owe it to myself, yeah.
It's always good to have some other than chocolate ice cream once in a while no matter how much you love it.

Reminds me of this CNSY song.

Almost sold my bass
It happened just the other day
It's gettin' kinda long
I coulda said it wasn't in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Yes, I feel like I owe it to someone
Must be because I had a flu for Christmas
And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking at my mirror and seeing a police car
But I'm not giving in an inch to fear
'Cause I promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone
When I finally get myself together
I'm going to get down in that sunny southern weather
And I'll find a place inside to laugh
Separate the wheat from the chaff
I feel like I owe it
To someone, yeah
