Some corrections to the lyrics..
If you're nobody's business or you're front page news, Folk, Rock, Country or Delta Blues,
Tell your truth however you choose, And do it all for the sake of the song.
Yeah, hitchhike and bus ride and rental cars, Living rooms, coffee houses, rundown bars,
Ten thousand people or alone under the stars, It’s all for the sake of the song.
There's a man who wrote "Your Cheatin' Heart", Now he's lyin’ to us too,
And he plays it on a stolen harp that’s soaked in hundred proof,
And there's one who might be happy but for the writer’s curse,
She's lost the crowd's attention by the forty second verse.
It's the travelling salesman, the girl next door, From the empty room to the third encore,
Less is less until more is more, And it's all for the sake of the song.
~~~
And there's the young man on the marquee, He's the son of some well known,
His father bought the tour bus so he could strike out on his own,
And there's the brooding contradiction, Yeah he's holding Van Gogh's ear,
And he's taped it to his guitar, in the hope someone will hear.
It's black berets and Nudie Suits, Next big thing all gettin’ back to your roots,
High tops, flannels, duct tape boots, And it's all for the sake of the song.
~~~
And there's the mystic, there's the legend, there's the best that's ever been,
And there's the voice of a generation who wants to pass this way again,
And there's record deals and trained seals, and puppets on a string,
And they're all just trying to figure out what makes the caged bird sing.
It's lights, camera, on with the show, lifetime to get ready, now go cat go
Where it all ends, nobody knows but it's all for the sake of the song
So if you're nobody's business or you're front page news, Folk Rock, Country or Delta Blues,
Tell your truth however you choose, And do it all for the sake of the song
