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 sing 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 'em home
He can make you love,
he can get you high
He will bring you down,
then he'll make 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
