lyrics

Greetings From the Island of Guitars
lyrics ©2022 Rich Mattson

Locked myself up in a room, or a tomb, or is it a womb?
I’ll find out pretty soon
I’m so glad for the tunes, and for you
Without which I’d be sad and blue
You would too, what to do, except follow the muse
To my friends, I bring you
Greetings from the island of guitars

Oh the fireglo so warm, and the country gent never meant no harm
And the telecaster speaks even if the signal’s weak
And the Harmony sounds so full, when it howls it’s wailing screed
and the Custom’s always there when perfection’s what you need

What’s your desert island fantasy
Coz I’m living mine with you right here with me
The law it says I ain’t fit to drive a car
So HEY! Greetings from the island of guitars
Greetings from the island of guitars
Greetings from the island of guitars
….guitars … Greetings from the island of guitars
