Tonight's the night, i play down at the local bar,
Just me and my guitar,
Life pa**ed me by, left me here on my own,
Just me and my guitar, All along I've been told, over and over again,
How to run my life,
Get a job, pay the rent and do my time,
Settle down with my wife, All along I've been told, over and over again,
How to run my life,
They say...get a job, pay the rent and do my time,
And settle down with my wife, (Chorus)
I just pick up my guitar and play a song,
I like to sit back here and watch time go on, So here i sit, playing only to a few,
At this lonely bar,
But this is where, i get to sit and think,
And feel like a star, (Chorus)
Thats why i just pick up my guitar and play a song,
I like to sit back here and watch time go on, (Musical interlude) (Chorus)
I like to pick up my guitar and play a song,
I like to sit back here and watch time go on, The lights grow dim, as i pack up all my things,
Just me an my guitar,
But i take, just one last look, back at the stage,
And head out alone to my car, (Chorus)
I just pick up my guitar and play a song,
I like to sit back here and watch time go on
