Lyrics

I'm a performer who plays on the street
Strumming for small change all day on my feet
Some days I do well but that's kind of rare
The avenue's loud here and nobody care's

That I have some good songs to sing
New tunes where nothing is borrowed
For me melody is the thing
And maybe they'll notice tommorrow what I play

I need a thousand dollars to record my stuff
At forty buck and hour I don't have enough
To lay down just a few songs with bass drums and guitar
I'm a million light years from being a star

But I have some good songs to sing
New tunes where nothing is borrowed
For me melody is the thing
And maybe they'll notice tommorrow what I play

And this is where I must be
At least for now
The street is my platform
I don't have to conform
To someone else's norm

And I have some good songs to sing
New tunes where nothing is borrowed
For me melody is the thing
And maybe they'll notice tommorrow what I play

Yes I have some good songs to sing
New tunes where nothing is borrowed
For me melody is the thing
And maybe they'll notice tommorrow what I play
