Guitar Man

Bread

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

Somethin' keeps him goin'

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

Somethin' keeps him driftin'

Miles and miles away

Searchin' for the songs to play



Then you listen to the music

And you sing along

You want to get the meaning

Out of each and ev'ry song

Then you find yourself a message

And some words to call your own

And take them home



---Instrumental Interlude---



He can make you love

He can get you high

He will bring you down

Then he'll make you cry

Somethin' keeps him movin'

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



Either way

Got to play

Either way

Got to play
