Guitar Man lyrics

Well I quit my job down at the carwash I left my mama a goodbye note

By sundown I'd left Kingston with my guitar under my coat

I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis got a room at the YMCA

For the next three weeks I went a hountin' them night clubs
Lookin' for a place to play

Well I thought my pickin' would set 'em on fire

But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man

Six foot six he stood on the ground weighed two hundred and thirty five pounds

But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love

[ ac.guitar ]
He was the kind of man that would gamble on luck

Look you in the eye and never back up

But I saw him cryin' like a little whipped pup because of love
