Give me a song I know Something I can relate to People never criticize the way I play Show me the way to go I need to make a breakthrough I don’t think that I can wait another day
It’s putting years on me I’m a young man going grey I don’t believe that I can wait another day
This simple melody is all I have I make my living that way I make good friends that way
I really can’t make no sense of it As hard as I try Is it something I do wrong? Please won’t you tell me why The people all seem to like it And no one knows about it more than I
I met a man today Who walked in my direction Stopped took off his hat And lit a cigarette He listened carefully To what I had been playing Threw a coin into my hands And walked away
I always play just what they want me to Everybody wants the same song If only I could do it in my own way I’d feel such emotion, emotion, Emotion, emotion,
Give me a song I know Something I can relate to No one wants to criticize the way I play I should just say no And play them what I want to ‘Cause I don’t think that I can wait another day
It’s putting years on me I’m a young man going grey I don’t believe that I can wait another day
This simple melody is all I have I make my living that way I make good friends that way They feel my emotion, emotion, Emotion, emotion…
