GUITAR MAN


Who draws the crowd and plays so loud, baby, it's the guitar man

Who's gonna steal the show, you know, baby, it's the guitar man

He can make you love, he can make you cry

He will bring you down, then he'll get you high

Something keeps him going miles and miles a day

To find another place to play

 

Night after night, who treats you right, baby, it's the guitar man

Who's on the radio, you go and listen to the guitar man

Then he comes to town and you see his face

And you think you might like to take his place

Something keeps him drifting miles and miles away

Searching for the songs to play

 

Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along

You want to get the meaning out of each and every song

Then you find yourself a message and some words to call your own

and take them home

 

He can make you love, he can get you high

He will bring you down, then he'll make, make you cry

Something keeps him moving, but no one seems to know

What it is that makes him go

 

Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim

The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin

But he never seems to notice, he's just got to find

another place to play

Anyway. I got to play. And fade away. Anyway, fade away.

I got to play anyway
