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 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
He is 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
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
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
Fade away
Got to play
Either way
Got to play
