Lyrics

[00:13.00] Who draws the crowd and plays so loud, baby it's the guitar man
[00:20.00] Who's gonna steal the show, you know baby it's the guitar man
[00:25.00] He can make you love, he can make you cry
[00:32.00] He will bring you down then he'll get you high
[00:39.00] Somethin' keeps him goin' miles and miles a day
[00:46.00] To find another place to play.
[00:53.00] Night after night who treats you right, baby it's the guitar man
[00:59.00] Who's on the radio, you go listen to the guitar man
[01:05.00] Then he comes to town and you see his face
[01:12.00] And you think you might like to take his place
[01:19.00] Somethin' keeps him driftin' miles and miles away
[01:26.00] Searchin' for the songs to play.
[01:32.00] Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along
[01:40.00] You want to get the meaning out of each and every song
[01:46.00] Then you find yourself a message and some words
[01:51.00] To call your own and take them home.
[02:13.00] He can make you love, he can get you high
[02:19.00] He will bring you down then he'll make you cry
[02:27.00] Somethin' keeps him movin' but no one seems to know
[02:33.00] What it is that makes him go.
[02:39.00] Then the lights begin to flicker and the sound is getting dim
[02:47.00] The voice begins to falter and the crowds are getting thin
[02:54.00] But he never seems to notice he's just got to find
[02:59.00] Another place to play, Anyway Got to play, anyway Got to play.
