Behind This Guitar Lyrics - Mo Pitney

Well I love the crowds, love the town 

Loves the way... my life's gone down..... the way it has.... 

I get to sing & chase my dreams 

But like they say... with all good thing.... 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 who can't believe he got this far... 

When I was a kid and the other kids 

were doing what ..most kids do..... well there I was 

Sitting on the edge of that 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 by dark 

But from 8 to 9 'til right here tonight ... 

I've 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 ... 

why me ..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 left my gone 

But thanks to him........my family friends 

and those who 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
