"Behind This Guitar" lyrics

I love the towns, I love the crowds
I love the way my life's gone down the way it has
I get to sing, "N" chase my dream but like they say
With all good things there's strings attached
Don't get me wrong, my life's a song
But I know me and I belong girl where are you
But from time to time it feels like I'm
Trapped and somehow stuck behind this guitar

Behind this guitar, is just a boy who had a dream in his heart
Behind this guitar, is just a guy who never dreamed he'd get this far

When I was a kid and the other kids
Were doin' what most kids did, there I was
Sittin' on the edge of my twin bed
Pickin' til my fingers bled got in my blood
That's not to say I didn't fish or play
Goof around and act my age, and be home by dark
But from either or nine, to right here tonight
You might say I pretty much grew up behind this guitar

Behind this guitar, is just a boy who had a dream in his heart
Behind this guitar, is just a guy who never dreamed he'd get this far

Well, I've always said that I've been blessed
Why me? Is anybody's guess, heck I don't know
But I'm well aware the man upstairs
Could have answered any others prayers and let mine go
Oh, but thanks to him, my family and friends
And those that got me where I am
And you know who you are
And with that in mind, the truth is I'm
Not the only one behind... this guitar
