Yellow Guitar Lyrics

I saw a man with a yellow guitar
Standing by the side of the road
Through the steam coming off the tar
posing like some delta ghost
The sun was rising
It was shining
Halfway to Memphis
Halfway to Tupelo

There was this man with a yellow guitar
Standing by the side of the road
I shouldn't have let him in my car
but his axe is what I had to hold
the sun was high then
It was frying halfway to Memphis
halfway to Tupelo

I only stopped because I'd never seen
so bright a beautiful thing
my only want my only need
was to hear it sing

There was this man with a yellow guitar
Standing by the side of the road
I knew that I was being charmed
By an angel or the devil I don’t know
The sun was dying
I was crying
Halfway to Memphis
Halfway to Tupelo
