Lyrics

One Man Band

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Gotta get my stuff together

I'm heading out

Gotta do the things that I've been speaking 'bout

Gotta show the world the difference between right and wrong

Yes

I gotta make myself a living writing songs

I'm just a lonely singer on a lonely road

This is the life that I chose

I give it more

So much more than what I've got

Eveything you think I am

I am not

'Cause I'm just a one man traveling band

Writing down poems on the back of my hand

I'm hoping you will understand me

I've come a long way

I've given up the cocaine

Looking for a chance to play a couple songs that I wrote along the way

I never thought that I would ever learn guitar

That I'd be the man on stage

No

Never thought that I would get to see the world

Love and miss the band everyday

But I headed out to California for margaritas by the pool

And the house of a good old friend of mine I knew way back in school

Just a box of wood

Six strings

This guitar

I've played in bedrooms and still play in bars

On city streets with pennies at my feet

And you know I'll play for money

I will play for free

'Cause I'm just a one man traveling band

Writing down poems on the back of my hand

I'm hoping you will understand me

I've come a long way

I've given up the cocaine

Looking for a chance to play a couple songs that I wrote along the way

I never thought that I would ever learn guitar

That I'd be the man on stage

No

Never thought that I would get to see the world

Love and miss the band everyday

But I headed out to California for margaritas by the pool

And the house of a good old friend of mine I knew way back in school

Yes
