lyrics

i got a folding metal chair backstage right
sipping beer feeling good it's a packed house tonight
waiting for my set i got a private fantasy
but to my surprise you're looking back at me

i try to steal a glance
but your eyes are open
what's this, the air's a little warm
who are you - i'll never really know
just some guitar pickin' guy in a late night show

it's a hazard i've run into before
buzzin' with the power that we conjure with these chords
it's a channel to a primal wordless place
i know that you've been there, i can see it in your face

i try to steal a glance but your eyes are open
what's this, the air's a little warm
who are you - i'll never really know
just some guitar pickin' guy in a late night show

up under the lights you're larger than life
got a halo in your hair and your voice is like a velvet knife
i get sucked into the magic like some kind of giddy fan
forget this is my second home and you are just a man

i try to steal a glance but your eyes are open
what's this, the air's a little warm
who are you - i'll never really know
just some guitar pickin' guy in a late night show

do you look at me that way
cuz your feeling what i'm feeling
do you like the things i'm doing to my microphone
i like the way you play and i like the way you sing
but the thing that gets me going is the way you look in jeans

after the show, trading tapes and hugs and drinking beer
it's on the road goodbye boys maybe see you maybe late next year
i'll keep my wild thoughts to myself and you will never know
till your driving down the highway and you hear this on the radio

i try to steal a glance but your eyes are open
what's this, the air's a little warm
who are you - i'll never really know
just some guitar pickin' guy in a late night show
