Lyrics of The Guitar Man

While walking down the street in the summertime
I heard music playing up ahead on down the line
In an old bar in a smoky room
Was a man playing a guitar and belting out a tune

Ya know, he sounded mighty fine!

Strumming the old tunes that we all know
Some were pretty fast, some were kinda slow
Bringing back the memories the only way he can
Listen to him play he's the guitar man

He said. . .He was born in a barn in Tennessee
His daddy taught him how to play
By the time he was three
Never had a real job
Never found himself a wife
That six string demon
Had become his whole life

Now most every evening in this old town
People gather at the bar from all around
To hear him sing and listen to the sound
Of the magical music his guitar lays down

Strumming all the old tunes that we all know
Some are fast and some are slow
Bringing back the memories the only way he can
Listen to him play he's the guitar man

Listen to him play he's the guitar man
Listen to him play he's the guitar man
Listen to him play he's the guitar man
Listen to him play
Listen to him play
Listen listen
Listen to him play he's the guitar man
