Got up on stage and I played my guitar
Tried not to look at the crowd
I started singing and there you are
Stealing the words from my mouth
Isn't that right?
You'd sell your soul for a rhyme
Made a little money selling my record
Couldn't tell you where it all went
I bought a guitar, I think it sounds better
But it sure ain't paying my rent
Isn't that right?
You'd sell your for a line
Name your price,
Darlin' tonight I'm buying
You know, I never really thought I would end up here,
I was working at a bar selling beer
Thought I would make a record, leave town,
But as it turns out, there's a lot to life you can't plan,
I'm just starting to understand we got a lotta living left to do
So take my hand, get up on stage help me sing this song
Me and my honey picking flowers in the ditches
Watching as the cars roll by
Don't give a damn about filling our britches with whatever money can buy
Isn't that right?
You'd sell your soul for a dime
Name your price,
Darlin' tonight I'm buying
Money comes, money goes, so do friends, so do shows,
And if every song I ever wrote were soon forgotten I know,
There would always be tomorrow,
Always another line, rhyme, and dime
And there's always gunna be a small time if you know where to look for it
Music before language, love before profits,
I'll take my wide-eyed optimism in the face of all of it
Me and my buddy staying out late
Drinking at the same three bars
Burning it down when we get up on stage
Grinnin' and playing guitar
Isn't that right?
Isn't that right?
Nothing but my whole life"
