Who draws the crowd and plays aloud
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
Something keeps in going
Miles and miles a day
To find another place to play
Night after night he treats you right
Baby he'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
Something keeps him drifting miles and miles away
Searching 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
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
Something keeps him moving
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
Got to pray
