Never had a brother teach me guitar
Roll me a joint, take me for a ride in his car
My grandmother told me, "You're the lucky one"
I felt so alone in a world that's not mine
We're different people, can be so unkind, the shame
Wanna hide who I am
Joe played guitar
It's what set him free
Six strings can define your destiny
The Bay City Rollers, Beatles and Kiss
Chords that came easy and even some riffs
Fat Danny played keys, Spiros on the bass
Joe played guitar
It's what set him free
Six strings can define your destiny
Most days the time that went slow
So young and innocent fighting
How could we know where we would go?
With songs we played over and over again
Keep 'em close, loving 'em like they were friends
Who knew it would end?
Jammed in my basement, played Sex Pistol songs
What about the Queen and the monarchy gone?
It's hard to be angry when your, she momma cooks so good
Ledingham C jacket over a painted demin vest
Talkin' about Zepp' or The Who being best
Boom box blasting Skynyrd, Free Bird
Joe played guitar
It's what set him free
Six strings can define your destiny
Most days the time, it went slow
So young and innocent fighting
How could we know where we would go?
With songs we played over and over again
Keep 'em close, lovin' 'em like they were friends
Who knew it would end?
Joe played guitar
It's what set him free
