Jim Sullivan - Amos lyrics

Amos was a backer man Played his song, then he ran home and upstairs, sleep and dream Dream about the star he'd be Some day soon, his break he'd see Leader of his own rock band supreme Amos, you're backing up a superstar Gaining his reputation working hard Climbing up the ladder of success ain't no crime To the world, there the money wait It's where he'd go, where he'd stick No one there, shoot him down anytime Then he rode sure enough His nose got gleam and his eyes felt rough Sleep in peace, it's just another memory He uses out now, sometimes by the pound His friends all love him yeah when he is around A good connection on the ball they'd likely be He now plays softly in a band Acoustic bleed because he just don't give a damn They're all waiting for the ringing ears to stop
