The Oak Ridge Boys - Rhythm Guitar lyrics

Nobody wants to play rhythm guitar behind Jesus Everybody wants to be the lead singer in the band A preacher I once talked to in Washington DC He told me preaching the gospel isn't all that it should be I said that it didn't really surprise me but I've often wonder why I never forget the words he said or the look that was in his eye He said Nobody wants to play rhythm guitar behind Jesus It seems like everybody wants to be the lead singer in the band I know it's hard to get a beat on what's divine When everybody pushing for the head of the line I know it ain't working out at all the way we planned I once shared a pizza with a pop star on the New York City street He was the most unhappy prophet you would ever want to meet He said he really wanted to save the world he just couldn't imagine how But he'd written a song about what's gone wrong and I'm singing it to you now
