Song | Guitar Man |
Artist | Elvis Presley |
Album | too much monkey business |
[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 |
