Me and My Guitar - Wishbone Ash

When I was just a boy at school

The kids all said that I was cool

Even said I could go far, just me and my guitar

I combed my hair in a big El quiff

Lots of grease to make it stiff

My pointed toes and my boot-lace tie —

I’m going to catch your eye

Oh, oh, rock and roll —

I can’t stop, it’s got a hold

Hey, hey, what I say?

Ain’t nobody gonna take it away

I met a girl and she could sing —

She could do most anything

When I took her in my car, she just wanted my guitar

So I put my foot hard down

Left her standing in that old town

Ain’t nobody going to come between

Me and my machine

Woah, oh, rock and roll —

I can’t stop, it’s got a hold

Hey, hey, what I say?

Ain’t nobody gonna take it away

Then one day I took a ride

Into the city and the bright lights

I soon found out that I was on my own

Just picking at the bone

Just one thing for me to do —

I had to make it up and anew

So I picked up my faithful friend

And I played it to the end

Oh, oh, rock and roll —

I can’t stop, it’s got a hold

Hey, hey, what I say?

Ain’t nobody gonna take it away
