Lyrics
Well, I quit my job down at the car wash, 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 hunting them nights just looking for a place to play Well, I thought my picking would set them on fire, but nobody wanted to hire a guitar man Well, I nearly about starved to death down in Memphis, I run out to money and luck So I bought me a ride down to Macon, Georgia, on a overloaded poultry truck I thumbed on down to Panama City, started picking out some of them all night bars Hoping I could make myself a dollar making music on my guitar I got the same old story at them all night piers, there is no room around here for a guitar man We don't need a guitar man, son So I slept in the hobo jungles, roamed a thousand miles of track 'Til I found myself in Mobile Alabama at a club they call Big Jack's A little four-piece band was jamming so I took my guitar and I sat in I showed them what a band would sound like with a swinging little guitar man Show them, son ♪ If you ever take a trip down to the ocean, find yourself down around Mobile Make it on out to a 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 Digging the finest little five-piece group up and down the Gulf of Mexico Guess who's leading that five-piece band Well, wouldn't you know, it's that swinging little guitar man Hey Hey Guitar man
