The Guitar Man
- Recorded by: Bread
- From the 1972 album, 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.
Somethin' keeps him goin' 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 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.
Somethin' keeps him driftin', miles and miles away,
Searchin' for the songs to play.
Then you listen to the music and you like to stay 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 you cry
Somethin' keeps him movin', 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... got to play...
Anyway... got to play...
