I must have played on every corner street wore my shoes down to my feet worn out pants and a tattered shirt and the hunger inside it made me hurt
BUT that's the life of a lonely singer and his only friend his guitar yea that's the life of a lonely singer and a who cares who you are
I thought one day me and my guitar would both grow up to be superstars so in every joint I would play my songs hoping one day folks would sing along
YEA that's the life of a lonely singer and his only friend his guitar yea that's the life of a lonely singer and a who cares who you are
BRIDGE I sing about my triumphs and all the times I've failed the characters within my dreams from my home made fairy-tales Like an artist's brush on canvass when he interprets what he see's I write down all of my feelings then sort'em out to see what I mean
YEA that's the life of a lonely singer and his only friend his guitar yea that's the life of a lonely singer and a who cares who you are

as a staff writer for a record company you had to write for every kind of music...was asked to write about a country singer trying to make it.
