The Boy with the Guitar Lyrics

He makes his own way he makes his mind
Replace his old names in his time
We tried to take care but he sits
Around all day got nothing to do
But make more money in a different way.

He plays a mini guitar with his cocaine
He passed out when he reached the refrain
A few spot lights painted his face green
We hid in the street, we fled the scene.

So next day I saw from my window
The sad sight of him and the guitar walking
Slowly through the streets
And the friends he meant to meet
They all looked and turned the other way
Ain't no reason for him to stay.

Run run run don't wait and see
He'll rob you of your happiness
and sell your dignity.

He's got covers on his eyes
And there's nothing inside
He's an empty heart
He fills it with lies
He's like a boy with no soul
He's an empty heart
He's like an empty heart
He fills it with lies
He fills it with lies

He's just a boy with a guitar

With no one beside him
He don't feel so big
And the feeling unties him
He's made the last stand
He lost his way, and now he can't be found
His tears fall softly
Cause he don't make no sound.
