For 20 odd years i have strummed on guitars

5,000 lost flat picks, four fingertip scars

I must have broken a million g strings

Picking and strumming, and playing these things

Banging and tunin', and playing these things.

And it's been 16 years now that i've written songs

Over a 100 and still growing strong

About drinking and hockey and flying above

Again and again about unhappy love

Over and over, unhappy love.

And it's music for money, but i'll do it for fun

Oh, i know how to do it, it's easily done

To stand on a stage doesn't make me afraid

I'm comfortable up there, it's gotten me laid

It always amazes me when i get paid.

So here am i doing all that i can do

You're paying, i'm playing, i'm grateful to you

Indoors and outdoors, at home and abroad

I sing these songs and you people applaud.

You haven't changed much, you still applaud.
