"Guitar Man"
Album - My Own Dixie

Poles apart on the scale of love,
She was bound to fall.
She gave her heart and so much love
To the boy with the steel guitar.

[Humming]

Aching soul and a tired mind,
He wore this poor girl down.
Worrying if he’d come home,
If he’d ever hang around.

Oh, let go of her hand.
She’s wasted too many smiles on a guitar man.

Tear-filled nights and lonely dreams.
Years of holding on so faithfully.
Echoes ring from those silver strings.
Holding on to nothing but a memory.

A bluegrass girl and a rocking lad
are never meant to be.
She’s the kind that loves for life,
And he’s the kind that leaves.

Oh, let go of my hand.
I’ve wasted too many tears on a guitar man.
Oh, let go of my hand.
I’ve wasted too many years on a guitar man.

Poles apart on the scale of love,
She was bound to fall.
She lost her love and broke her heart
On the boy with the steel guitar.
