lyrics

Back in Nova Scotia I was drumming in a band
Life was living easy, day to day and hand to hand
One day when we were jamming, she pulled up in a car
It was the first time I saw the girl with the guitar

My older brother was the leader and the singer of the tunes
He fixed his eyes upon her as she walked into the room
She looked at him and smiled as he played her up to par
And I couldn't take my eyes off the girl with the guitar

At the end of the rehearsal we went and got some beer
My brother sat beside her and he whispered in her ear
"Come with us tonight, we got a gig at the bar
And you'll be playing in the band as the girl with the guitar"

I was doing all I could to play it cool and keep the beat
But when she started moving, my heart was missing beats
She came in on the chorus on the 32nd bar
I knew I was in love with the girl with the guitar

The fire hall was blazing, we were playing rock'n'roll
She was digging in the rhythm from the bottom of her soul
The crowd was going wild and that night she was the star
Everybody fell in love with the girl with the guitar

I was packing up my drums when the band was getting drunk
She came to me and said, "Come put your gear in my trunk
Roll the windows down so we can smoke in the car"
And I was driving away with the girl with the guitar

At the end of the summer the band was breaking down
My brother and I weren't talking and she was leaving town
She gave me a kiss and then she lit a cigar
And that's the last time I saw the girl with the guitar

Everybody's changed and nobody stayed the same
It's someone else's money and it's someone else's game
When the band is paid and leaving and there's no one in the bar
I always will remember the girl with the guitar
