Lyrics

Guitar Player Drive
by James H. Turner

The fingers they ply
The words are essential
The blues notes survive
The notes they are mental
As time passes by, I, I…
On… Guitar Player Drive
On Guitar Player Drive

The faces are long
Weathered and dry
But the song must go on
As their guitars cry
As time passes by, I, I…
On… Guitar Player Drive
On Guitar Player Drive

Everyday the sun goes down
People start… milling around
Looking for that funky old sound
And… stopping and singing
To the blues they are hearing
‘Cause there ain’t no jive, Iv, Iv…
On… Guitar Player Drive
On Guitar Player Drive

I walk down the street
And nod to say “hi”
Father and sons
Play side by side
As time passes by, I, I…
On… Guitar Player Drive
On Guitar Player Drive

As the night gets long
Some drift away
The way they say “bye”
Is the sad notes they play
As time passes by, I, I…
On… Guitar Player Drive
On Guitar Player Drive
