He was standing on the
corner like a 5 foot 10 inch stray dog
I got the feeling all he owned was just a
suitcase in his hand and that guitar
His old board gave up the
ghost outside of town
It never got him very far
He tossed a paper coffee
cup onto the sidewalk
And walked into the bar
He said, I play this guitar
And I sing some alright
And I'm just looking for a
joint that has cold beer
And a place to plug my amp in tonight
I once was a star
But this is now that was then
And I still love to play my
music for the folks
It makes me feel young again
That night we let him sit up in the corner
And set him up with beer
When he played the people dance I'd nev
er seen it quite so lively down in here
Then he sang some sad familiar
song I hadn't heard in years
And on the faces of some people at the bar
In their eyes were tears
He said, I'll play this guitar
And I'll sing some alright
And I'm just looking for a
joint that has cold beer
And a place to plug my amp in tonight
I once was a star
But this is now that was then
And I still love to play my
music for the folks
It makes me feel young
again
I play this guitar
And I sing some alright
And I'm just looking for a
joint that has cold beer
And a plate to crank my amp up tonight
I once was a star
But this is now that was then
And I still love to bam
my music for the folks
It makes me feel young again
Oh, I love to play my music for the folks
It makes me feel young again
He was standing on the corner like a five -foot,
ten -inch stray dog
