Radney Foster - Making It Up As I Go lyrics

There are nights I've owned this town Most nights it owns me Play my guitar 'til it draws blood And it still won't let me be People think you know what you're talking about All because you wrote some song I ain't no smarter than the rest of these clowns I'm just making it up as I go along I had dreams at 21 I traded for a car The car is gone and the dreams are, too But I've still got your heart You always saw right through the smoke and mirrors Nothing fooled you for long You know the wizard's just a man behind the curtain shifting gears Still making it up as I go along. I've worn this mask before 'til I don't know who I am I love the cards life's dealt me But I sure don't know how to play out my hand There are nights I've owned your love Most nights it owns me There are nights I've tried to escape it And it still won't let me be People think you know what true love's about All because you wrote some song There's more to love than just writing it down We'll make it all up as we go along
