  • Jerry Reed Jerry Reed - Guitar Man Lyrics

           

    Well I quit my job down at the carwash I left my mama a goodbye note
    By sundown I'd left Kingston with my guitar under my coat
    I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis got a room at the YMCA
    For the next three weeks I went a hountin' them night clubs
    Lookin' for a place to play
    Well I thought my pickin' would set 'em on fire
    But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man
    Well I nearly bout starved to death down in Memphis I run out of money and luck
    So I bummed me a ride down to Macon Georgia on a overloaded poultry truck
    I thumbed on down to Panama City started checkin' out some of them all night bars
    Hopin' I can make myself a dollar makin' music on my guitar
    Got the same old story at them all night piers
    There ain't no room around here for a guitar man we don't need a guitar man son
    So I slept in the hobo jungles I bummed a thousand miles of track
    Till I found myself in Mobile Alabama in a club they call Big Jack's
    A little four piece band was jammin' so I took my guitar and I sat in
    I showed 'em what a band would sound like
    With a swingin' little guitar man show 'em son
    [ ac.guitar ]
    So if you ever take a trip down to the ocean find yourself down round Mobile
    Well make it on out to the club called Jack's if you got a little time to kill
    Just follow that crowd of people you'll wind up out on his dance floor
    Diggin' the finest little five piece group up and down the Gulf of Mexico
    And guess who's leadin' that five piece band
    Why wouldn't you know it's that swingin' little guitar man yeah
    [ ac.guitar ]
