Well, I love the crowds, love the towns
Love the way my life's gone down
The way it has
I get to sing and chase my dreams
But, 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 and somehow stuck behind
This guitar
Behind this guitar is just a boy
Who had a dream in his heart
Behind this guitar is just a guy
That can't believe he got this far
When I was a kid and the other kids
Were doin' what most kids did
Well there I was
Sittin' on the edge of that twin bed
Pickin' 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 by dark
But from eight or nine to here tonight
I pretty much grew up behind
This guitar
Behind this guitar is just a boy
Who had a dream in his heart
Behind this guitar is just a guy
Who can't believe he got this far
Well, I've always said that I've been blessed
What I mean is anybody's guess
Well, I don't know
But I'm well aware the man upstairs
Could have answered any other's prayers
And let mine go
But thanks to Him, my family friends
And those who've got me where I am
You know who you are
Now, with that in mind, the truth is I'm
Not the only one behind
This guitar
