Broken Guitar Man - Ronnie Kimball

Broken Guitar Man - Ronnie Kimball by Various Artists



There are devils in the daylight demons in the night

He's an old rock n roller looking back on his crazy life

He tried to burn his candle at both ends

And he tried to be her lover, all she wanted was a friend

Now he don't know where he's going

Can't remember where he's been



(Chorus)

The demons fill his night at the end of his ride

Nothing left to say he danced away his best years

Now the fiddler's walking to him holding out his empty hand

You think he'd show some mercy on this broken guitar man



Bus tires roll on beneath him the headlights search the night

Trying to solve the mystery that will bring some peace tonight

He's looking for the answer in a song

The silver ribbon rolls on by and the beat goes on and on

The echoes of the song he played

Disappear and fade away



(Chorus)

The demons fill his night at the end of his ride

Nothing left to say he danced away his best years

Now the fiddler's walking to him holding out his hand

You think he'd show some mercy on this broken guitar man
