I was just a young man
|
Working steady in a good time band
|
Pickin' every single little lick I could
|
Just to please the man
|
Harlan sang the lead for half
|
And we split up the rest
|
Hangin' on through the heavy times
|
And hopin' for the best
|
|
And I can't recall the names of all
|
Them places that we played in
|
All them squirrely party girls
|
And pills we used to pop
|
Hardly ever sleepin' in
|
Those cheap motels we stayed in
|
Hopin' we could take it 'til we'd make it to the top
|
|
Chorus:
|
And them nights, get a little bit brighter
|
And them bars just a little bit better
|
And the sweet, just a little bit sweeter
|
But them blues, well it's still the same old song
|
|
Now we're stars and shining on
|
Them prime time t.v. shows
|
Every stranger knows our name
|
And every little where we go
|
Findin' out the bottom ain't so different
|
From the top
|
Just a few more friends that you'll be losin'
|
When you drop
|
|
And I've left some of my soul on
|
Every sweaty sheet that I could sleep on
|
Gettin' just as close to any body as I could
|
I don't regret a single bed I've laid my body down on
|
Ever since the first I had
|
The worst I had was good
|
|
Chorus:
|
And them nights, get a little bit brighter
|
And them bars just a little bit better
|
And the sweet, just a little bit sweeter
|
But them blues, well it's still the same old song
|
