Behind This Guitar

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Behind this guitar is just a boy
Who had a dream in his heart
Behind this guitar is just a guy
That can't believe he got this far

[Verse 3]
When I was a kid and the other kids
Were doin' what most kids did
Well there I was
Sittin' on the edge of that twin bed
Pickin' till my fingers bled
And it got in my blood

[Verse 4]
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 here tonight
I pretty much grew up behind
This guitar

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 5]
Well, I've always said that I've been blessed
What I mean 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 let mine go

[Verse 6]
But thanks to Him, my family friends
And those who've 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
