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 and 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 don't 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
Then you find yourself a message and some words to call your own
Then 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
Lead the way
Got to play
Lead the way
He's just got to find another place to play
He's just got to find another place to play
Lead the way
