Piper - Blues For The Common Man lyrics

Squier Five o'clock in the morning I'm standing out in the rain They don't give me no warning, police rouse me again Now I'm a common man, makin' out the best I can Well I feel shook down from my head to my toes With a girl on my arm and a spoon in my nose This time around tell ya anything goes, oh yeah I got the blues for the common man I'm just a common man, and I be singing the blues for the common man Yeah I'm singing the blues for the common man I got no reason to hurry, I take my time on the run I can't forget not to worry, can't let you see me undone I'm just a common man, looking at a one night stand I don't get down with your nine to five Don't tell me I ain't takin no jive Next time around gonna skin me alive, oh yeah I'll be searchin' for daylight, but there's none to be found I'm burning my night light when there's noone around I'd like to love you, but your game's too rough Can't do without you, I just can't get enough I got my villa de capri, I got my minks and my cars I've got you thinking about me, you've got your head in the stars You love your common man You're the last one to know, I couldn't make you understand When you got everything that your money can buy And there ain't one thing you ain't already tried But you're goin' 'round again just to know you're alive, oh yeah The things that you want, the things that I got The things that you want, they don't mean a lot I know what I want, I see what you got I know what I want, and I like it a lot I like it I'm just a common man, just a common man
