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

And 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 doin’ what most kids did

Well there I was

Sitting on the edge of that twin bed

Pickin’ til my fingers bled

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 or 9 til right here tonight

You might say 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

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

Now with that in mind the truth is I’m

Not the only one behind this guitar
