Guitar Boy

I first picked up guitar when I was but a boy
Father said son don't forget its no toy
He showed unto me some things he thought I should know
While strumming and singing the words did start to flow

Then day turns to days and year turns to years
A shortage of songs is nothing that I fear
A performance to people too many to few
I'll sing you a song and then I'll start anew

I've been known as guitar boy
Have another song written for you
Guitar boy
Rest your mind and my song listen to

Now my name starts to carry my fame has begun
We must keep on going or life will give none
There are shows to perform and masses to please
The life of a showman on stage so at ease

And they call me guitar boy
I never took no shortcut to fame
Guitar boy
Some may hate but I play none the same
Guitar boy
I never took no shortcut to fame
Guitar boy
Some may hate but I play none the same

While my fortune is made my legacy is assured
It's a life that was made but a life we endured
I no longer have hunger for life on the road
My hunger is breeding the love you bestow

At times I've refused you a life
But that's not what I wanted to do
But time has tempered this fire
And its time that I started anew

They once called me guitar boy
Almost seems a lifetime ago
Guitar boy
Loved a performance the thrill of the show
Guitar boy
Regrets I've some very deep
Guitar boy
The life I live in my dreams while I sleep
