[00:08.79]I guess I tried to show you how
[00:13.07]I'd take the crowd with my guitar
[00:17.51]And business men would clap their hands
[00:21.43]And clip another fat cigar
[00:25.20]And publishers would spread the news
[00:29.33]And print my music far and wide
[00:33.89]And all the kids who played the blues
[00:37.07]Would learn my licks with a bottle neck slide
[00:45.82]But now it seems the bubble's burst
[00:49.96]Although you know there was a time
[00:54.13]Love songs gathered in my head
[00:57.86]Poetry in every line
[01:02.08]And strong men strove to hold the doors
[01:05.70]While with my friends I passed that reach
[01:10.04]When people stomped on dirty floors
[01:13.26]Before I trod the rock'n'roll stage
[01:52.66]I'll thank the man who's on the 'phone
[01:55.59]And if he's got some time to spend
[01:58.28]The problem I'll explain once more
[02:01.29]And indicate a sum to lend
[02:03.88]That ten percent is now a joke
[02:06.93]Maybe thirty, even thirty-five
[02:09.86]I'll say my daddy's had a stroke
[02:12.72]He'd have one now, if he only was alive
[03:19.21]I like the way you look at me
[03:21.82]You're laughing too, down there inside
[03:24.81]I took my chance and you took yours
[03:27.51]You crewed my ship, we missed the tide
[03:30.25]I like the way the music goes
[03:33.06]There's a few good guys who can play it right
[03:35.54]I like the way it moves my toes
[03:38.52]Just say when you want to go and dance all night

I guess I tried to show you how
