Yellow Guitar

I saw a man
 With a yellow guitar
 Standing
 By the side of the road
 Through the steam
 Coming off the tar
 Posing
 Like some delta ghost
 The sun was rising
 It was shining
 Halfway to Memphis
 Halfway to Tupelo
 There was a man
 With a yellow guitar
 Standing
 By the side of the road
 I shouldn't have
 Let him in my car
 But his axe
 Is what I had to hold
 The sun was high then
 It was frying
 Halfway to Memphis
 Halfway to Tupelo
 I only stopped
 Because I'd never seen
 So bright
 A beautiful thing
 My only want my only need
 Was to hear it sing
 There was this man
 With a yellow guitar
 Standing
 By the side of the road
 I knew
 That I was being charmed
 By an angel or the devil
 I don't know
 The sun was dying
 I was crying
 Halfway to Memphis
 Halfway to Tupelo
