Here I go ridin' up and down the road with a gang
I bought me a bus and I got me a four piece band
Tonight we played Chicago then travel North Ontario
But I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star

Well it's ninety degrees and the airconditioner is broke
This keeps up and we're all levelled a choke
I don't know of John had to go through this
But boy if he did he sure earned his
I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star

I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star
Mighty to learn to play on my own lead guitar
Don't wanna tell jokes to try to be funny
Just sing a little song and make a little money
I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star
[ guitar ]
Played the show in Alabama but I was two hours late
And I wrecked the bus when I drove to the gate
The man didn't wanna give me all of my dough
But ke said OK when I said oh no
I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star

Well we're runnin' late for a show in Abilene
The bus is hard and the boys are sure actin' mean
We're gonna get there bet you a dollar
When we come on they'll scream and holler
I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star

Yeah I got me a guitar...
Yeah I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star
I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star
