My Guitar - Wishbone Ash

When I was just a boy at school

The kids all said that I was cool.

Even said I could go far, just me and my guitar.

I combed my hair in a big El quiff,

Lots of grease to make it stiff,

My pointed toes and my boot-lace tie —

I’m going to catch your eye.

Oh, oh, rock and roll —

I can’t stop, it’s got a hold.

Hey, hey, what I say?

Ain’t nobody gonna take it away.

I met a girl and she could sing —

She could do most anything.

When I took her in my car, she just wanted my guitar.

So I put my foot hard down,

Left her standing in that old town.

Ain’t nobody going to come between

Me and my machine.

Woah, oh, rock and roll —

I can’t stop, it’s got a hold.

Hey, hey, what I say?

Ain’t nobody gonna take it away.

Then one day I took a ride

Into the city and the bright lights.

I soon found out that I was on my own,
