Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He sits all alone, playin' his guitar
Out in the back of a little café
And no one seems to hear, so he closes his eyes
And just lets the music take him away
[Verse 2]
Singin' songs of love
Songs of broken hearts
[Verse 3]
And he's worn out his love and his last pair of jeans
But you keep goin' on when you're livin' on dreams
And you feel it inside, and the guitar don't lie
(The guitar don't lie)
[Verse 4]
There's a lady he knows who often comes by
She's a nice little girl and she's into the blues
The request is the same song every night
She says it reminds her of someone she knew
[Verse 5]
A trace of her perfume
Floats across the room
[Verse 6]
Once they were close and they shared all their dreams
But now all he feels is a physical thing
They grow slowly apart and the guitar don't lie
(The guitar don't lie)
[Verse 7]
Some nights it gets cold and it makes him aware
That time's movin' on and it's slippin' away
And if you look close at his dark, curly hair
Under the lights there are traces of gray
[Verse 8]
He knows what it's all about
Feelin' down and out
[Verse 9]
'Cause he's been there before and he's seen it all
And you learn to survive with your back to the wall
It's a crazy old life and the guitar don't lie
The guitar don't lie
(The guitar don't lie)
(The guitar don't lie)
(The guitar don't lie)
