Lyrics 6 Strings - Mike Dignam

6 Strings

I played a beaten up guitar,
Never thought 6 strings would get me this far,
I sing for pocket change on streets,
Never thought that 30p would land me on my feet
But I’m not gonna quit now,
I know more than they doubt,
Never let the stage find another me
I was built on good ground
I’ve seen people brought down
by evil in the city
If I did it for the money I’d have sold out
I’ve been at this too long
To give up at the start
Written too many songs
To crash and burn it up
If the …
I live for wild nights and peace
The sound of speakers when they’re speaking back to me
I don’t wanna stare me in the face one day
Knowing I’d like to change the meaning of my name
I’m not gonna build now,
I’m right into the pins now,
Never want the page that’s in front of me
I was taught to love loud
I simply … run down by dealing with the city
If I did it for the money I’d have sold out
I’ve been at this too long
To give up at the start
Written too many songs
To crash and burn it up
If the …
I can’t afford to get this wrong there’s nothing I can fall back on
I can’t afford to get this wrong there’s nothing I can fall back on
I can’t afford to get this wrong there’s nothing I can fall back on
I can’t afford to get this wrong there’s nothing in this world I want
I’ve been at this too long
To give up at the start
Written too many songs
To crash and burn it up
If the …
They know nothing about me
This all came from the street
So I’ve already made it
I’ve already made it
I’ve already made it
Oh, this fire
