"Stories & Strings"

"STORIES & STRINGS"


Tonight you came here just to see me play -
And hear me sing in my particular way...
All these cafes & lounges & smoke-filled bars
Sometimes make me long for solitude on Mars...

I travel to places that I've never been -
And most think that all I can do is sing songs & sin..
But I can't imagine staying in one place,
Only to be a silent member of this hectic human race...


CHORUS:
I play my guitar & keep my dreams in a jar -
With my stories & strings, I spread musical wings...
Sure the tips can be fine - But I could always use some wine...
As long as there's an audience like you -
My soul flies free, and I kinda' like the view...


I can't see your face when the spotlight's on mine,
And I' can't always tell if you're there to drink or to dine...
Whatever the reason - I'm happy you're here -
So feel free to sing along & laugh, or even shed a tear...


CHORUS


Living on the road can be lonely as hell,
But it's like I'm under a songwriting spell...
I can't explain what drives my will -
All I do know is that I just can't lie still...

The nights are too long & the days are too bright
For me to always know just what's wrong or what's right...
Suffice it to say, I'm where I belong --
Right here, right now -- just singing a song...


CHORUS
