Lyrics

I'm leaving school, so full of light.
Secure in my belief that the truth is right.
I got my friends and a beat up car.

And all I need is my guitar. All I need is my guitar.

I was a child, when I learned to play.
Now they come to tell me to put it all away.
I can't give up, I've come too far.

All I need is my guitar.
All I need is my guitar.

I tried the other side for a while.
But where does my music fit in there?
They spend your time like it's going out of style.
It's not their life, why should they care?
Why should they care!

I hate the stress, of saying "Yes" to every order coming down from the director's desk.
Every clock I punch, leaves a corporate scar.

All I need is my guitar
All I need is my guitar.

I tried the other side for a while.
But where does my music fit in there?
They spend your time like it's going out of style.
It's not their life, why should they care?
Why should they care!

I quit my job, I quit this life.
I don't need money to be my wife.
I don't need ambition to hitch my star.

All I need is my guitar!
All I need is my guitar!
All I need is my guitar!
