"Tonight I Just Need My Guitar" — the instrument as company.
Jimmy Buffett, Mac MacAnally
Gulf coast nights, flounder lights
I'm back on the Eastern shore
With my history of wrecks

Tonight I just need my guitar
Don't need to feel important or famous
No limos or my little Nash car
One lucky man
With my feet in the sand
Tonight I just need my guitar
