Guitars ring in the dead of night, sing so blue, sound so right
It makes you homesick
Listen close to the guitar man, native son of a foreign land
The boy's homesick

He's homesick (homesick) for days by gone 
Homesick (homesick) home sweet home, yes he is

Where were you in '69, smoking dope, drinking wine
Just an outlaw
Distant drums beats an old refrain, shakes your feet, pounds your brain
Like a buzzsaw, yes he does

In the darkness down the hall, black-light posters on the wall
Jimi Hendrix
Someone's lost in yesterday, hazy dreams of Monterey
And Woodstock, all right

He's homesick (homesick) for days gone by
Homesick (homesick) to kiss the sky, yes he is

Oh, don't you know the boy's homesick
Won't you look over here, yeah
Yeah, the boy's homesick, get it, get it now
Oh, won't you look over here

Guitars ring in the dead of night, sing so blue, sound so right
It makes you homesick
Listen close to the guitar man, native son of a foreign land
The boy's homesick

He's homesick (homesick) for days by gone 
Homesick (homesick) Lord, for home sweet home, yes he is

Oh, don't you know the boy's homesick
Yeah, won't you look over here, yeah look out
The boy's homesick
