I thumbed it down to the Everglades land with nothing but a guitar in my hand
I was southbound and I didn't even have a band
Well I hit the highway and I found a semi but the driver had that evil eye
Grabbed my guitar and he smashed it against the ground
So I took the truck, then I ran, I was looking for a nice guitar stand
And I read a sign that said Ochopee County Fair
Sing it boys
Oh Guitar Man, what have you done
You traded in your life for some fun
I guess the world will never understand
Our life just ain't easy for Guitar Man
Well the crowd that rushed us off the stage threw things at me out of rage
Then the police found me and put me in a cage
We were sitting out there in the county jail and no one we knew could pay our bail
I guess now I'm gonna be spending a little time in the can
Oh Guitar Man, what have you done
You traded in your life for some fun
I guess the world will never understand
That life just ain't easy for Guitar Man
Oh Guitar Man, what have you done
You traded in your life for some fun
I guess the world will never understand
Life just ain't easy for Guitar Man
