[00:08.79] I guess I tried to show you how
[00:13.07] I'd take the crowd with my guitar
[00:17.51] And business men would clap their hands
[00:21.43] And clip another fat cigar
[00:25.20] And publishers would spread the news
[00:29.33] And print my music far and wide
[00:33.89] And all the kids who played the blues
[00:37.07] Would learn my licks with a bottle neck slide
[00:45.82] But now it seems the bubble's burst
[00:49.96] Although you know there was a time
[00:54.13] Love songs gathered in my head
[00:57.86] Poetry in every line
[01:02.08] And strong men strove to hold the doors
[01:05.70] While with my friends I passed that reach
[01:10.04] When people stomped on dirty floors
[01:13.26] Before I trod the rock'n'roll stage
[01:52.66] I'll thank the man who's on the 'phone
[01:55.59] And if he's got some time to spend
[01:58.28] The problem I'll explain once more
[02:01.29] And indicate a sum to lend
[02:03.88] That ten percent is now a joke
[02:06.93] Maybe thirty, even thirty-five
[02:09.86] I'll say my daddy's had a stroke
[02:12.72] He'd have one now, if he only was alive
[03:19.21] I like the way you look at me
[03:21.82] You're laughing too, down there inside
[03:24.81] I took my chance and you took yours
[03:27.51] You crewed my ship, we missed the tide
[03:30.25] I like the way the music goes
[03:33.06] There's a few good guys who can play it right
[03:35.54] I like the way it moves my toes
[03:38.52] Just say when you want to go and dance all night
