Guitar Man Full Lyrics
[00:06.12] Well, I quit my job down at the car wash
[00:09.03] Left my mama a goodbye note
[00:11.23] By sundown, I'd left Kingston
[00:13.59] With my guitar under my coat
[00:15.56] I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis
[00:17.80] Got a room at the YMCA
[00:20.45] For the next three weeks, I went huntin' them nightclubs
[00:23.20] Just lookin' for a place to play
[00:25.07] Well, I thought my pickin' would set 'em on fire
[00:27.48] But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man
[00:33.78] Well, I nearly 'bout starved to death down in Memphis
[00:36.60] I run outta money and luck
[00:38.83] So I bought me a ride down to Macon, Georgia
[00:41.58] On a overloaded poultry truck
[00:43.27] I thumbed on down to Panama City
[00:45.26] Started checkin' out some o' them all night bars
[00:48.22] Hopin' I could make myself a dollar
[00:50.45] Makin' music on my guitar
[00:52.73] I got the same old story at them all night piers
[00:55.28] There ain't no room around here for a guitar man
[00:58.81] We don't need a guitar man, son
[01:02.05] So I slept in the hobo jungles
[01:04.39] Roamed a thousand miles of track
[01:06.74] 'Til I found myself in Mobile Alabama
[01:09.20] At a club they call Big Jack's
[01:11.25] A little four-piece band was jammin'
[01:13.27] So I took my guitar and I sat in
[01:15.81] I showed 'em what a band would sound like
[01:18.29] With a swingin' little guitar man
[01:20.07] Show 'em, son
[01:21.35]
[01:44.99] So if you ever take a trip down to the ocean
[01:47.91] Find yourself down around Mobile
[01:50.51] Make it on out to a club called Jack's
[01:52.93] If you got a little time to kill
[01:55.19] Just follow that crowd of people
[01:56.96] You'll wind up out on his dance floor
[01:59.93] Diggin' the finest little five-piece group
[02:02.24] Up and down the Gulf of Mexico
[02:04.46] Guess who's leadin' that five-piece band
[02:07.11] Well, wouldn't ya know, it's that swingin' little guitar man
[02:13.51] Guitar man
[02:16.34]
