The Fastest Guitar Alive Lyrics

Hey, here I go a lucky so and so
Happy 'cause I know, I've got my fast guitar
Singing pretty songs, knowing I belong
I am first and last and always a fast guitar

The fastest guitar alive
Rattling strings like a gattling gun
Shaped like a lovely woman

Stay right where you are
My guitar is a fast guitar
The fastest guitar alive

I'm rolling on like a rolling stone
Gathering no moss, I play a boss guitar

The fastest guitar alive
Strumming like a battling soldiers drum
Shaped like a lovely woman

Stay right where you are
My guitar is a fast guitar
The fastest guitar alive

Hey, here I go a lucky so and so
Happy 'cause I know, I've got my fast guitar

The fastest guitar
The fastest guitar
The fastest guitar alive

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
