Behind This Guitar Songtext
von Mo Pitney

Well 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
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 did
Well there I was

Sitting on the edge of that twin bed
Picking ′til 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 eight or nine to right here tonight
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 the man upstairs
Could have answered any other′s prayers
And left mine 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
