Lyrics
Tampa Bum Blues
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.
You're standing in line for attention
That you're never gonna get.
With all of the talent you have,
You've never done much with it.
All of your friends have been asking
If you're alive and where you've been;
Or if you forgot all about them
While sleeping hard and staying in.
[Chorus]
Yeah! Don't play around,
Don't play it down.
If you've got something to say,
Just say it!
If you've got something to say,
Just say it!
All of the time that you spent on
Planning out how you would quit...
And what you get out will depend on
Exactly what you're putting in.
You're talking in circles now
(Your reasoning is wearing thin).
How can you catch a free ride
If you never chase after it?
[Chorus x4]
If you've got something to say.
