Lyrics for 'Guitar Man' by 'Elvis Presley'
(words & Music By Hubbard)
Well, I Quit My Job Down At The Car Wash,
Left My Mama A Goodbye Note,
By Sundown I'd Left Kingston,
With My Guitar Under My Coat,
I Hitchhiked All The Way Down To Memphis,
Got A Room At The Ymca,
For The Next Three Weeks I Went Huntin' Them Nights,
Just Lookin' For A Place To Play,
Well, I Thought My Pickin' Would Set 'em On Fire,
But Nobody Wanted To Hire A Guitar Man.

Well, I Nearly 'bout Starved To Death Down In Memphis,
I Run Outta Money And Luck,
So I Bought Me A Ride Down To Macon, Georgia,
On A Overloaded Poultry Truck,
I Thumbed On Down To Panama City,
Started Pickin' Out Some O' Them All Night Bars,
Hopin' I Could Make Myself A Dollar,
Makin' Music On My Guitar,
I Got The Same Old Story At Them All Night Piers,
There Ain't No Room Around Here For A Guitar Man
We Don't Need A Guitar Man, Son

So I Slept In The Hobo Jungles,
Roamed A Thousand Miles Of Track,
Till I Found Myself In Mobile Alabama,
At A Club They Call Big Jack's,
A Little Four-piece Band Was Jammin',
So I Took My Guitar And I Sat In,
I Showed 'em What A Band Would Sound Like,
With A Swingin' Little Guitar Man.
Show 'em, Son

If You Ever Take A Trip Down To The Ocean,
Find Yourself Down Around Mobile,
Make It On Out To A Club Called Jack's,
If You Got A Little Time To Kill,
Just Follow That Crowd Of People,
You'll Wind Up Out On His Dance Floor,
Diggin' The Finest Little Five-piece Group,
Up And Down The Gulf Of Mexico,
Guess Who's Leadin' That Five-piece Band,
Well, Wouldn't Ya Know, It's That Swingin' Little Guitar Man.

The Tv-special Verse:

Well, I Came A Long Way From The Carwash,
Got To Where I Said I'd Get
Now That I'm Here I Know For Sure
I Really Ain't Got There Yet
Think I'll Start All Over
Swing My Guitar Over My Back
I'm Gonna Get Myself Back On The Track
I'll Never, Never Ever Look Back
I'll Never Be More Than What I Am
Wouldn't You Know
I' M A Swinging Little Guitar Man
