Lyrics

For A Song
(Copyright RobRoy West Music)

For a song I could sing
they offered me a sixpack of most anything
So off I went for the ride
in somebody else's limo
with the fat man by my side

You used to call three times a day
write letters every night
I used to think we'd be okay
but now I realize

All that I hold
is a '57 Les Paul gold
a motel room with an alley view
and one free wake up call
Now every road
leads me further from my home
I can't believe I'd ever leave
and let you move along
for a song...

For a song I could play
for anyone who'll listen
and preferably pay
For a beer and a dusty bus
Parked outside of a convenience store
I have traded us

I used to think the ties that bind
could carry over county lines
I used to think we could survive
but now I realize

All that I hold
is a '57 Les Paul gold
a motel room with an alley view

and one free wake up call
Now every road
leads me further from my home
I can't believe I'd ever leave
and someday you'd be gone
for a song...
