Loudon Wainwright III
[Intro] [Verse 1] For 20 odd years I have strummed on guitars 5000 lost flat picks four fingertip scars I must have broken a million g strings Picking and strumming and playing these things Banging and tunin’ and playing these things. [Verse 2] And it’s been 16 years now that I’ve written songs Over a 100 and still growing strong About drinking and hockey and flying above Again and again about unhappy love Over and over unhappy love. [Solo] [Verse 3] And it’s music for money but I’ll do it for fun Oh I know how to do it it’s easily done To stand on a stage doesn’t make me afraid I’m comfortable up there it’s gotten me laid It always amazes me when I get paid. [Verse 4] So here am I doing all that I can do You’re paying I’m playing I’m grateful to you Indoors and outdoors at home and abroad I sing these songs and you people applaud. You haven’t changed much you still applaud.
