all they wanna hear

play that

that

that trailer park song

man about the car

man

i've written songs about love

songs about war

beat up cars and old screen doors

youth and truth

lies and money

some of them are sad

and others are funny

and i've sang about sunshine

sang about rain

lookin out the window of a big jet plane

songs about home and this road i'm on

and songs just to find the strength to carry on

i reckon i've written about a million songs so far

dirty clubs and motel rooms

trying to be a big rockstar

but all they wanna hear

is sittin at a bar

you know

that bartender song

the one about crashing that car

so i sing it every night

but i save it for last

and everybody sings along

might even sign me an autograph

well i've strained my brain

and tried to search

for great ideas

it just won't work

complex metaphors

double entendres

trying to be more than a one hit wonder

scheming on a rhyme

skin racking my melon

how long i been doing this

ain't no tellin

working like the devil to be avant garde

well

hell

maybe i just tried too hard

i reckon i've written about a million songs so far

dirty clubs and motel rooms

trying to be a big rockstar

but all they wanna hear

is sittin at a bar

you know

that bartender song

the one about crashing that car

so i sing it every night

but i save it for last

and everybody sings along

might even sign me an autograph

and i'm not complaining

not at all

i'm just saying

if i could find a way

to write a million more like that one

then maybe that drunk guy with all his sloppy friends

you can find at all our shows

wouldn't be yelling play that trailer park song

we're just two songs in

but who knows

but all they wanna hear

is sittin at a bar

you know

that bartender song

the one about crashing that car

so i sing it every night

but i save it for last

and everybody sings along

might even sign me an autograph
