Guitars ring in the dead of night
The scene was so blue and sound so right
Listen close to the guitar man
A native son in a foreign land
Smokin' that dope and drinking that wine
Piston drums beat an old refrain
Shakes your feet and it pounds your brain
In the darkness, down the hall
Black light posters on the wall
Someone's lost in yesterday
Guitars ring in the dead of night
The scene was so blue and sound so right
Listen close to the guitar man
A native son in a foreign land
For that kickin' southern sky
Listen close to the guitar man
Listen close to the guitar man
