[Verse 2] Well he couldn’t ride or wrangle and he never cared to make a dime But give him his guitar and he’d be happy all the time And all the girls from nine to ninety Were snapping fingers tapping toes and begging him don’t stop And hypnotized and fascinated By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box (Turnaround) And he would play... [Verse 3] Then one day he was gone and no one ever saw him ’round He’d vanished like the breeze they forgot him in the little town But all the girls still dreamed about him And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked And then one day on the Hit Parade Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box (Turnaround) And he would play...

La chanson évoque l’histoire d’un jeune homme talentueux qui, dans un petit cabaret d'une ville frontalière du Texas, attire l'attention des gens de la région grâce à sa guitare. Sa musique enchante les jeunes filles, qui n’hésitent pas à faire des sacrifices pour le voir jouer. Bien qu'il ne soit pas intéressé par l'argent ou la vie matérielle, il trouve du bonheur à travers sa passion pour la musique. Un jour, il disparaît mystérieusement, laissant derrière lui des souvenirs et des rêves chez ceux qui l’écoutaient. Malgré son absence, son héritage perdure, et un jour, il refait surface dans le monde de la musique, rappelant à tous à quel point il était captivant lorsqu'il jouait sa mélodie, la fameuse "Tennessee flat top box".
