Hey little boy just sittin' on your back porch Pickin' on your guitar Wishing you were far away Well, I can tell you a little bit A dream I see in your eyes I hear it in the songs you play And hey little boy, just play it like you feel it Make it so real, it's almost too real to take Just swing it like a player Make it like a prayer It's one from the heart, Give it all of the heart it can take And when you play what you want to play You reach down to the soul You keep on growin', And you know someday That sound is gonna turn into gold Boy, you're takin' me there To guitar heaven And without sayin' a word You lay it all on the line You make me leave my cares In guitar heaven Just go and play your song I could stay all night Play it, son You know you're takin' me there To guitar heaven You make me feel every sound You make it shine like a light I'm gonna lose my cares in guitar heaven You go and play that song I 'm gonna stay a while Go and play that song, boy I'm gonna stay a while The way you play that song Makes me want to smile
