Lament

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

I guess, I tried to show you how

I'd take the crowd with my guitar

And business men would clap their hands

And clip another fat cigarAnd publishers would spread the news

And print my music far and wide

All the kids who played the blues

Would learn my licks with a bottle neck slideBut now it seems the bubble's burst

'Though you know there was a time

When love songs gathered in my head

With poetry in every lineAnd strong men strove to hold the doors

While with my friends I passed that age

People stomped on dirty floors

Before I trod the rock 'n' roll stageThank the man, who's on the 'phone

If he has the time to spend

The problem I'll explain once more

And indicate a sum to lendTen percent is now a joke

Maybe thirty, even thirty-five

I'll say, my daddy's had a stroke

He'd have one now, if he only was aliveI like the way you look at me

You're laughin' too down there inside

I took my chance and you took yours

You crewed my ship, we missed the tideI like the way the music goes

There's a few good guys who can play it right

I like the way it moves my toes

Say when you want to go and dance all night

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
