[00:09.77] Well I quit my job down at the car wash
[00:12.34] Left my mama a goodbye note
[00:14.40] By sundown I‘d left kingston
[00:16.59] With my guitar under my coat
[00:18.77] I hitchhiked all the way down to memphis,
[00:20.90] Got a room at the ymca,
[00:22.46]
[00:23.15] For the next three weeks I went huntin them nights,
[00:25.72] Just lookin for a place to play
[00:27.65] Well, I thought my pickin would set em on fire
[00:29.90] But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man.
[00:32.77]
[00:35.71] Well, I nearly bout starved to death down in memphis
[00:38.59] I run outta money and luck
[00:40.59] So I bought me a ride down to macon, georgia
[00:43.11] On a overloaded poultry truck
[00:45.08] I thumbed on down to panama city
[00:47.03] Started pickin out some o them all night bars
[00:49.40] Hopin I could make myself a dollar
[00:51.65] Makin music on my guitar
[00:53.09]
[00:53.72] I got the same old story at them all night piers
[00:56.15] There aint no room around here for a guitar man
[00:58.65] We don’t need a guitar man, son
[01:01.59]
[01:02.59] So I slept in the hobo jungles
[01:04.58] Roamed a thousand miles of track
[01:06.53] Till I found myself in mobile alabama
[01:09.02] At a club they call big jacks
[01:11.03] A little four-piece band was jammin
[01:12.96] So I took my guitar and I sat in
[01:15.21] I showed em what a band would sound like
[01:17.65] With a swingin little guitar man
[01:19.46] Show em son
[01:43.46] If you ever take a trip down to the ocean
[01:45.90] Find yourself down around mobile
[01:47.89] Make it on out to a club called jacks
[01:50.34] If you got a little time to kill
[01:52.27] Just follow that crowd of people
[01:54.08] You'll wind up out on his dance floor
[01:56.39] Diggin the finest little five-piece group
[01:59.08] Up and down the gulf of mexico
[02:01.02] Guess whos leadin that five-piece band
[02:03.46] Well, wouldnt ya know, its that swingin little guitar man
[02:06.89] Hey guitar man
[02:13.71]
