Lyrics
I guess I tried to show you how I'd take the crowd with my guitar And business men would clap their hands And clip another fat cigar And publishers would spread the news And print my music far and wide All the kids who played the blues Would learn my licks with a bottle neck slide But now it seems the bubble's burst Although you know there was a time Love songs gathered in my head Poetry in every line And strong men strove to hold the doors While with my friends I passed that reach When people stomped on dirty floors Before I trod the rock 'n' roll stage I'll thank the man who's on the 'phone And if he's got some time to spend The problem I'll explain once more And indicate a sum to lend That ten percent is now a joke Maybe thirty, even thirty-five I'll say my daddy's had a stroke He'd have one now, if he only was alive
