Been around a long time, still paying my dues
Got to be reason, dues rhymes with blues!
I’m still paying them
I’m still playing them
Did I pick the Joker, or did I pick the Queen?
I’m still trying to figure out, just what life means
I’m still paying
I’m still playing
Chorus:
Some say I’m troubled - Some say I’m blessed
I just let my heart tell my fingers what to do
& hope for the best….
Bridge:
I remember the young boy, face to the window, longing in his heart.
If only, if only…
Ha! – but he didn’t know, today was just the start.
SOLO
Let me tell you people, got to be a cost
But I still get that feeling – the need to be the boss
I’m still paying
& I’m still playing
Been around a long time, still paying my dues
Got to be reason, dues rhymes with blues!
I’m still paying them
I’m still playing them
