Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song to try and explain to my wife why I stay up late at night in my studio trying to make a dream come true.

Song Description

For all those songwriters out there trying to get their music heard.

Lyrics

his is for my fellow songwriters and
late night one man bands. It is also for
those people who love us.

Late Night One Man Band
(C)2011 Anthony Lynn Powers

Verse 1

Here I am alone again
just me and my old guitar
with a blank sheet of paper
I'm just shooting for the stars
I'm just one of many
holding that pen in my hand
trying to put words to music
just a late night one man band

Chorus

I'm just a late night one man band
just looking for the words
trying to catch lightning in a bottle
so I can get my music heard
until then she'll be the only fan
of this late night one man band

Verse 2

The words are in my head
the music fills my soul
I only hope they come together
before I get too damn old
I may be chasing rainbows
so I hope you understand
the passion inside that drives
this late night one man band

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

music is forever
a song lives on and on
it will tell my story
long after I am gone

Repeat Chorus

until then my wife's the only fan
of this late night one man band
