No delusions of grandeur No misconceived notions But there's a thing that beats in my chest Like the winds against the ocean I don't crave glory, fortune or fame I don't even care if you remember my name I want to be there On a brightly lit stage Me and my guitar Making art Turn the page Not in it for the women (I'm happily spoken for) I don't do drugs (They're stupid, and make you poor) I don't want to get rich (Money corrupts) I just love rock (Stand back. Watch me erupt) It's all about the music And what it does for you I don't write for me That's for other musicians to do So if you ever hear me playing And it stirs something in your heart I'm doing something right I'm just doing my part

Realistically, Rock and Roll.
No delusions of grandeur No misconceived notions But there's a thing that beats in my chest Like the winds against the ocean I don't crave glory, fortune or fame I don't even care if you remember my name I want to be there On a brightly lit stage Me and my guitar Making art Turn the page Not in it for the women (I'm happily spoken for) I don't do drugs (They're stupid, and make you poor) I don't want to get rich (Money corrupts) I just love rock (Stand back.

Seriously. I only play music because I love music. If I can live off of it, sweet. If not, I'll find something, but music will still be there.
