I carry my guitar
Like a load of lumber
Looking for where to go
The bar closed for the night
But the sun’s still up
My blood still tickles me
I carry my guitar
Like a load of lumber
Looking for where to play
A midnight jam
Just up the road
Oh I got ta go
I carry my guitar
Like a load of lumber
Looking for where to sing
My shadow and her pals
All heard about it
And Goddamn, they got ta go
I carry my guitar
Like a load of lumber
BREAK
I carry my guitar
Like a load of lumber
Looking for your voice to share
Singing that sweet jam
Of our insides
Beer sippers
Tea totelers
Sun’s still up
Night’s gone by
We all made it what it was
I carry my guitar
Like a load of lumber
Looking for where to sleep
Yer song is in my heart
But my head is getting weary
So I guess I’ll be on my way
I carry my guitar
Like a load of lumber
