Jack Savoretti - One Man Band lyrics
rate meGotta get my stuff together<br />
I'm heading out<br />
Gotta do the things that I've been speaking 'bout<br />
<br />
Gotta show the world the difference between right and wrong<br />
Yes<br />
I gotta make myself a living writing songs<br />
<br />
I'm just a lonely singer on a lonely road<br />
This is the life that I chose<br />
<br />
I give it more<br />
So much more than what I've got<br />
Eveything you think I am<br />
I am not<br />
<br />
'Cause I'm just a one man traveling band<br />
Writing down poems on the back of my hand<br />
I'm hoping you will understand me<br />
<br />
I've come a long way<br />
I've given up the cocaine<br />
Looking for a chance to play a couple songs that I wrote along the way<br />
<br />
I never thought that I would ever learn guitar<br />
That I'd be the man on stage<br />
<br />
No<br />
Never thought that I would get to see the world<br />
Love and miss the band everyday<br />
<br />
But I headed out to California for margaritas by the pool<br />
And the house of a good old friend of mine I knew way back in school<br />
<br />
Just a box of wood<br />
Six strings<br />
This guitar<br />
I've played in bedrooms and still play in bars<br />
<br />
On city streets with pennies at my feet<br />
And you know I'll play for money<br />
I will play for free<br />
<br />
'Cause I'm just a one man traveling band<br />
Writing down poems on the back of my hand<br />
I'm hoping you will understand me<br />
<br />
I've come a long way<br />
I've given up the cocaine<br />
Looking for a chance to play a couple songs that I wrote along the way<br />
<br />
I never thought that I would ever learn guitar<br />
That I'd be the man on stage<br />
<br />
No<br />
Never thought that I would get to see the world<br />
Love and miss the band everyday<br />
<br />
But I headed out to California for margaritas by the pool<br />
And the house of a good old friend of mine I knew way back in school<br />
Yes
