Behind This Guitar

I love the towns, I love the crowds

Love the way my life's turned out the way it has

I get to sing and chase my dreams

Like they say with all good things, there's strings attached

Don't get me wrong, my life's a song

You know me, I belong, girl, where you are

But from time to time, it feels like I'm trapped

Somehow, stuck behind this guitar

Behind this guitar

Just a boy who had a dream in his heart

Behind this guitar

Just a guy who didn't believe I'd get this far

When I was a kid, and the other kids

Were doing what most kids did, well, there I was

Sitting on the edge of my twin bed

Picking till my fingers bled, and it got in my blood

That's not to say I didn't fish or play

Goof around and act my age, and be home at night

But from the age of nine till right here tonight

You might say I pretty much grew up behind this guitar

Behind this guitar

Just a boy who had a dream in his heart

Behind this guitar

Just a guy who didn't believe I'd get this far, I'd get this far

Well, I've always said that I've been blessed

Why me is anybody's guess, well, I don't know

But I'm well aware that the man upstairs

Could've answered any other's prayers, and let mine go

But thanks to Him, my family and friends

Those who got me where I am, you know who you are

So, with that in mind, the truth is I'm

Not the only one behind this guitar
