Simon, Taylor, Denver, Cash Video (MV)

The first time I heard Graceland, my heart fell on the floor
It stole my breath & shook me to the core
So every Friday night I play it in another crowded bar
'Cause I think we all need grace no matter how drunk we are
Simon, Taylor, Denver, Cash - these songs can make me cry
But no one's really listening in a dive at 10 at night
It pays ok and it's hard to say no to a little dough
But I'm driving home and I've never felt so low

Some nights, you sing for no one in the corner of a bar
Some nights, you sing for hundreds who all know who you are
It can be hollow as a raindrop, it can thunder, it can fill
And applause cah even pay a couple bills

The first time that they cheered for me, my heart went to the sky
I didn't know there was a drug that could get me this high
I've been working hard for hits of it since I was 13
But no one ever taught me how to wean

Tonight we played in Boston in this legendary place
There's a picture of Joni Mitchell from the '70s backstage
We sold out every seat in there and played a perfect show
Still I'm driving home and I've never felt so low

Some nights, you sing for no one in the corner of a bar
Some nights, you sing for hundreds who all know who you are
It can heat you up like whiskey that goes straight to your head
But applause, it cannot warm your bed

Maybe one day thousands will know all of my songs
And we'll come back to Boston and they'll all sing along
Or maybe I'll have children and I'll write them lullabies
Either way I'll do this 'til I die

Maine to Carolina, through sunny fields & snow
Driving home on Christmas Eve all the way from Buffalo
If you asked me if I would I think that I'd do it all the same
'Cause if you don't know how to give, then you don't know how to gain

Some nights you sing for no one in the corner of a bar
Some nights you sing for hundreds who all know who you are
I drove a million miles and I wanna come back home
'Cause applause it cannot save my soul
Applause it cannot save my soul
