Guitars ring in the dead of night

The scene was so blue and sound so right

Your 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

Listen close to the guitar man

A native son in a foreign land

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

He's homesick

For days by gone

He's homesick

For home sweet home

He's homesick

For them times gone by

He's homesick

For that kickin' southern sky

He's homesick

(Listen close to the guitar man)

Said he's homesick

Boy is homesick

(Listen close to the guitar man)

(He's homesick)
