The Guitar Don't Lie |
He sits all alone, playing his guitar |
In the back of a small café |
And nobody hears so he closes his eyes |
And just lets the music take him away |
Singing songs of love, songs of broken hearts |
And he’s worn out his luck and his last pair of jeans |
But you just keep on going on when you’re living on |
Dreams |
And you feel it inside, and the guitar don’t lie |
There’s a lady he knows, who often comes by |
She’s heavily into the blues |
She requests the same song every night |
She says it reminds her of someone she knew |
A trace of her perfume, floats across the room |
Once they were close, shared all their dreams |
But now all he feels is a physical thing |
They grow slowly apart, and the guitar don’t lie |
Some nights it gets cold, and it makes him aware |
That time is slipping away |
And if you look close at his dark curly hair |
Under the lights there are traces of grey |
He knows what it’s all about, feeling down and out |
‘Cause he’s been there before, and he’s seen it all |
And you learn to survive with your back to the wall |
It’s a crazy old life, and the guitar don’t lie |
