he came down from the mountain
all he had was on his back
with a guitar in his hand
from a small wooden shack
well he grew up like his daddy did
yes his life was hard
but there's one thing that boy could do
he could play a guitar
yeah yeah yeah-yeah-yeah (x3)
yeah yeah yeah
well he went into town
no swamps were around
just the hi-rise eyesore
his father told him about
he went down to the local pub
down the corner of 6th and Main
well he sat there on the bandstand
playin' the 12th bar and goin' insane
yeah yeah yeah-yeah-yeah (x3)
yeah yeah yeah
