Guitar Town © L Dunn 2014
Verse
In his hometown band he began to play
Followed that dream and moved away
Another young bound for guitar town
Right from the git go he saw how the real cats do it
Made it look easy like there’s nothin’ to it
Those red hot pickers down in guitar town
'B’ section
He wondered ‘how could they be that good’
They barely seemed to try
Pick a lighting quick, guitar lick
And never bat an eye
Verse
Well he thought he could play, got schooled instead
Saw first-hand what his old man said
‘Son, they don’t clown in guitar town’
They’ll pull lightning off of six steel wires
They can set the house on fire
They can burn it down in guitar town
Bridge
Though they may not be legend spun to myth
Still there’s plenty ‘a good players there to reckon with
Some real hot pickin’ down in guitar town
Verse
Simple as 2 plus 2 add 1 is 5
He knew shed like the devil or get eatin’ alive
‘Cause he planned to hang around guitar town
‘B’ section
Well now he followed through, paid his dues
Came into his own
A bag a tricks at his finger tips
He made that town his home
Outro
Knew for everyone that makes it there a bus load don’t
But get it goin’ on and maybe you won’t
Have to take that Greyhound outta guitar town
