Leave You With a Song

After all the long and sleepless nights
The broken chords and used up lines
Locked in my bedroom searching for a spark
After the corner bars and thrift store clothes
Packing up and leaving home
Living on what’s left in my tip jar
After all the bands have broken up
And this worn out hearts been broke enough
The bad luck and the lucky breaks
The ups and downs, the give and takes
After it’s all gone
I’ll leave you with a song
After all the long weeks on the road
The good friend’s couch that I call home
After the one night romance ends before it starts
After the record deal that second chance
The sold out shows, the new fake friends
And the vices that nearly tore me apart
After all the bands have broken up
And this worn out hearts been broke enough
The bad luck and the lucky breaks
The ups and downs, the give and takes
After it’s all gone
I’ll leave you with a song
All I’ve ever had to give
Are the stories of this reckless life I live
After all the bands have broken up
And this worn out hearts been broke enough
When I can’t sing and I can’t play
And just like that I fade away
After I’m long gone
I’ll leave you with a song
