Guitars ring in the dead of night The scene was so blue and sound so right You're homesick Listen close to the guitar man A native son in a foreign land Boy's homesick Where were you in '69 Smokin' that dope and drinking that wine And you were an outlaw Piston drums beat an old refrain Shakes your feet and it pounds your brain Like a buzz saw He's homesick For days by gone He's homesick For home sweet home In the darkness, down the hall Black light posters on the wall Jimi Hendrix Someone's lost in yesterday Hazy dreams of Monterey And Woodstock, alright
Guitars ring in the dead of night The scene was so blue and sound so right Makes you homesick Listen close to the guitar man A native son in a foreign land The boy is homesick He's homesick For days by gone He's homesick For home sweet home But he's homesick For days by gone He's homesick For his home sweet home He's homesick For them times gone by He's homesick For that kickin' southern sky Homesick Listen close to the guitar man Said he's homesick Boy is homesick Listen close to the guitar man He's homesick
