John Miles Man Behind The Guitar Lyrics

Man Behind The Guitar Lyrics

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?
