All American Long Haired Denimed Songwriting Guitar Man

[00:05.45] Well, come on over to my house
[00:08.28] I got a friend and he sings too
[00:11.53] Written one or two of his own songs lately
[00:14.26] Maybe you'd like a few
[00:16.75] So I gathered up all of my papers
[00:19.69] And I planned to stay the night
[00:22.72] We sat around singin' in a smoky room
[00:25.46] Around the candlelight
[00:28.17] He used to be in a rock band
[00:30.85] Way back in '67
[00:33.86] He knew those songs like the back of his hand
[00:36.50] From Springfield up through Harrison
[00:39.27] But there never was a poet who could sing the blues
[00:40.84] (There never was a poet who could sing the blues)
[00:42.20] And get the boys to join in
[00:45.07] Like an all American long haired denimed
[00:47.96] Songwriting guitar man (he was guitar man)
[00:50.52]
[00:58.82] He'll always carry a Yamaha
[01:01.90] And leave the Martin at home
[01:04.86] But find a better man on the harmonies
[01:07.42] Or I'm country pickin' alone
[01:10.47] Dylan, Joni, and the Taylor's
[01:13.31] And even their private lives
[01:16.06] Spoonful, Russell, and the Grateful Dead
[01:18.78] And the names of every one of the wives
[01:21.49] But let me play you a new tune
[01:24.47] And you can learn the melody
[01:27.30] He sang another song about a long-lost friend
[01:29.93] It sounded like Neil Young heavily
[01:32.41] But there never was a poet who could sing the blues
[01:34.02] (There never was a poet who could sing the blues)
[01:35.78] And get the boys to join in
[01:38.20] Like an all American long haired denimed
[01:41.16] Songwriting guitar man (he was guitar man)
[01:43.82]
[01:52.45] Strum that sweet Van Morrison
[01:55.05] And the oldest Beatles you can (love, love with you)
[01:58.25] Love that West Coast "Piece of My Heart"
[02:00.58] (Take another little piece of my heart) now a little Brown and The Band
[02:03.52] But let me play you one of my old songs (oh)
[02:06.12] I think you'll like the melody (oh, oh)
[02:09.33] He sang another song about a travelin' band (oh)
[02:11.78] (Don't let it bring you down) it sounded like Neil Young heavily
[02:14.73] But there never was a poet who could sing the blues
[02:16.00] (There never was a poet who could sing the blues)
[02:17.52] And get the boys to join in
[02:20.23] Like an all American long haired denimed
[02:23.29] Songwriting guitar man (he was guitar man)
[02:25.98]
