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
Something keeps him going, 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 know
Listen to the guitar man
And 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
And 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,
and he'll make you cry
Something keeps him moving
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
