I make my living as a singer of the blues
Singing songs about nothing to lose
I play my guitar for the late-night crowd
Just trying to make a nickel
Hear them shout it out loud
Don’t look at what I’m doing
Just listen to the words of my song
If you like what I’m singing
You’re welcome here to sing along
Sing along
I’m known around as a traveling man
Making music wherever I can
And I like to strum across these tight wound strings
Sleeping late in the day then writing songs to sing
Don’t look at what I’m doing
Just listen to the words of my song
If you like what I’m singing
You’re welcome here to sing along
Sing along
I’m not a rich man
But I’m getting by man
With what little money that I make
In front of bright lights
Into the late night
To sing a song about a fool’s heartache
Don’t look at what I’m doing
Just listen to the words of my song
If you like what I’m singing
You’re welcome here to sing along
Sing along
I’m not a rich man
But I’m getting by man
With what little money that I make
In front of bright lights
Into the late night
To sing a song about a fool’s heartache
In front of bright lights
Even on cold nights
To sing a song about a fool’s heartache
