Man Behind The Guitar Lyrics - John Miles

There's a man behind the guitar 

And he's not too happy as a superstar. 

Am I asking too much 

Will you reach out and touch 

The man behind the guitar? 

BIG MOVES COMING 

SMOKING BIG CIGAR MEN 

Knit me into a plastic man 

Who can that natural be? 

Smile though I don't feel good 

Wear clothes that they would 

Losing all my best friends 

Who are asking what happened to me. 

Take a good look and see. 

There's a man behind the guitar 

And he's not too happy as a superstar. 

Am I asking too much? 

Will you reach out and touch 

The man behind the guitar? 

Boy you will go far 

You will be a real star 

So much money to spend 

That you can buy anything that you see. 

A movie queen to escort you 

In the big Cadillac that we bought you. 

All these things and all I want 

Is not like how it used to be, 

Just take a good look and see. 

STILL GET KICKS FROM MY GUITAR LICKS 

The girls go wild when they see my style.
