Well I grew up a small town kid Woulda been just fine doin what my daddy did Til he broke down one day and brought home this guitar I boarded that rocket ship and headed straight for the stars I been 16 now for most of my life I got a beat up heart, same sparkle in my eye Didn't know any better, on the day that I left Now I got too many songs to get off of my chest Don't you know it ain't easy for a guitar man I'm just livin' on dreams doin all that I can To shake off these demons and make my stand I left my life out in the country for a rock and roll band I can still feel the wind, still see the Kansas wheat That red dress summer romance and all the John Deere green I talked to mama on the phone while I changed my strings She knows the words to all my songs, but I pray she don't know what they mean Don't you know it aint easy for a guitar man You might meet a nice girl you'll never see her again Each night a new city and I make my stand I left my life out in the country for a rock and roll band There's days that I wish that I was singin in the choir SongtexteI'd have saved money on beer, saved money on tires Coulda left my roots right there in the dirt A little grease on my hands and my name on my shirt Don't you know it aint easy for a guitar man Yea there's only one cure for the shape that I'm in So I tune it up and sing 'em all again I left my life out in the country for a rock and roll band No I cant help it, its just who I am Left my life out in the country for a rock and roll band....
