Career Moves |
| For twenty-odd years, I have strummed on guitars |
| 5,000 lost flat picks, four fingertip scars |
| I must’ve broken a million G strings |
| Picking and strumming, and playing these things |
| Banging and tuning, and playing these things |
| And it’s been sixteen years now that I’ve written songs |
| Over a hundred 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 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 I am, 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 |
