The Boy With The Gretsch (Acoustic Version)
from Terry Naylor Hosted by Terry Naylor
There's nothing wrong with being the quiet one When there's so much you've got to shout about When you heard the sound of the music that shifted the ground You grabbed that guitar and found your way out The boy with the Gretsch Playing into the screams So bountifully blessed with a swell of success Beyond your wildest dreams Cradled in your arms You step out into the light With no need to set any fancy effects You're the boy with the Gretsch A New York '57 duo Jet Step one to heaven got it made Country Gent and Tennessee Step two and step three on the way From the Cunard Line to the closing of Cloud Nine Some IOUs are better left unpaid The boy with the Gretsch Playing so wild and free So clear and so strong the echoes travel on Into eternity Your fingertips glide On strings and across the frets No solo or chord too much of a stretch For the boy with the Gretsch You can tell that guitar All the secrets of your heart You'd never share Whatever love you want to send You've always got a friend Who will be there You can bend it high You can lay it down deep Make it weep. gently weep The boy with the Gretsch Shining a light of love From your heart and soul to the Hollywood Bowl It's what the dream's made of It's a hell of a ride When guitars and stars collide From the moment you met Up on that top deck To the boy with the Gretsch There's a place on the stage There's a song in the set For the boy with the Gretsch
