WHO CARES WHO YOU ARE

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

   by vjkelly (C)1978 for my song
      '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.
