career moves

for 20 odd years i have strummed on guitars

5

000 lost flat picks

four fingertip scars

i must have broken a million g strings

picking and strumming

and playing these things

banging and tunin'

and playing these things

and it's been 16 years now that i've written songs

over a 100 and still growing strong

about drinking and hockey and flying above

again and again about unhappy love

over and over

unhappy love

and it's music for money

but i'll do it for fun

oh

i know how to do it

it's easily done

to stand on a stage doesn't make me afraid

i'm comfortable up there

it's gotten me laid

it always amazes me when i get paid

so here am i doing all that i can do

you're paying

i'm playing

i'm grateful to you

indoors and outdoors

at home and abroad

i sing these songs and you people applaud

you haven't changed much

you still applaud
