[Verse 1]
Like a boat on a river this bus is floating down this old highway
Looking out the window I think about how I got here today
Anyone who's anywhere had some help getting there its true
And one of the reasons why I get to do the things I do

[Chorus]
I met this angel
With callused hands
Who led this boy to his band
Under his wing I learned to fly
On these 6 strings through this life
You can hear them in my playing
Although he's gone
And I owe him so much more than just this song

[Verse 2]
Like a leaf that had fallen I was drifting down the stream
Mr. Guitar came into my life and let me live this dream
His old gretch still speaking still speaking its teaching all of us a ton
He was my friend and my hero all wrapped up in one

[Chorus]
I met this angel
With callused hands
Who lead this naive boy into his band
Under his wing I learned to fly
On his 6 strings into the night
I can still hear him playing although he's gone
And I owe him so much more than just this song
[Outro]
Every face we see from we every stage we roll
With every note we play even though there gone
They live on
They live on
