The Guitar Man
The guitar man gave the American countryside
his one note show he hoped would change the world.
The guitar man had long ago forgot why he'd left his home
in pursuit of his dream of dazzling folks with his one note show.
The guitar man realized that no one read or talked of him
and his life had led itself into a dismal despair.
The guitar man knew he no longer cared about the note
so he stepped over sadness and left his dream for home.
The guitar man still plays his simple style of guitar at times
but through the journey of one note he found other things to do.
