Guitarman

[00:17.06] Well, I quit my job down at the carwash
[00:19.45] Left my mother a goodbye note
[00:21.73] By sundown I left Kingston with my guitar under my coat
[00:25.25] Hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis
[00:27.24] Got a room at the YMCA
[00:29.60] For the next three weeks went hunting at nights
[00:31.56] Just looking for a place to play
[00:33.47] Well, I thought my picking would set them on fire
[00:35.51] But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man
[00:40.27]
[00:44.78] Well, I nearly got starved to death down in Memphis
[00:47.35] I run out of money and luck
[00:49.21] So I bummed me a ride down to Mecon, Georgia
[00:51.43] On an overloaded poultry truck
[00:53.01] Thumbed on down to Panama City
[00:54.87] Started picking at some of them all night bars
[00:57.69] Hoping I could make myself a dollar making music on my guitar
[01:01.39] Got the same old story the moment I'd appear
[01:03.69] "There ain't room around here for a guitar man
[01:06.43] Don't need a guitar man, son"
[01:09.33] So I slept in the hobo jungles
[01:11.18] I roamed thousand miles of track
[01:13.15] 'Til I find myself in Mobile, Alabama
[01:15.14] At a club they call Big Jacks
[01:17.10] A little four piece band was jamming
[01:18.59] So I took my guitar and I sat in
[01:21.12] I showed 'em what a band would sound like
[01:23.08] With a swinging little guitar man
[01:25.25] Show 'em son
[01:28.87]
[02:14.12] If you ever take a trip down to the ocean
[02:16.31] Find yourself down around Mobile
[02:18.72] Make it on out to a club called Jacks
[02:20.59] If you got a little time to kill
[02:22.57] Just follow that crowd of people
[02:23.95] You'll wind up out on his dance floor
[02:26.65] Digging the finest little five piece group
[02:28.51] Up and down the Gulf of Mexico
[02:30.65] Guess who's leading that five-piece band?
[02:32.61] Wouldn't you know it's that swinging little guitar man
[02:37.31]
[03:33.38] "He was a degenerate's degenerate"
[03:35.18]
