There's a man behind the guitar And he's not too happy as a superstar. Am I asking too much Will you reach out and touch The man behind the guitar? Big Motors comin', Smokin', Dixie gum in. Knit me into a plastic man Who can that natural be? Smile though I don't feel good Wear clothes that they would Losing all my best friends Who are asking what happened to me. Take a good look and see. There's a man behind the guitar And he's not too happy as a superstar. Am I asking too much? Will you reach out and touch The man behind the guitar? Boy you will go far You will be a real star So much money to spend That you can buy anything that you see. A movie queen to escort you In the big Cadillac that we bought you. All these things and all I want Is not like how it used to be, Just take a good look and see. Still get kicks out of guitar layin'. The girls go wild when they see my style. There's a man behind the guitar And he's not too happy as a superstar. Am I asking too much Will you reach out and touch The man behind the guitar?
