| Artist | REO Speedwagon |
| Album | Decade of Rock & Roll '70-'80 |
| Lyrics：Kevin Cronin Music：Kevin Cronin | |
| Recently I've been thinkin about what I am and where my priorities lie | |
| Gettin it together on some future plan, decidin what I need to get by | |
| I tried workin and schoolin but there just not my plan, oh no | |
| Can't ya see I'll always be a music man | |
| Well I could be pickin bluegrass or singin the blues, it doesn't really matter to me | |
| As long as I'm playin the music I just can't lose, and noones gonna tell me differently | |
| Cause all I really care about is sittin right here in my hands, oh yeah | |
| Can't ya see I'll always be a music man | |
| Well my momma sits and worries about me for days | |
| Even though she really likes the way the boy plays | |
| My daddy tells her I'm just goin through a phase | |
| But that's just what he always says | |
| I hear what they're sayin but I take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah | |
| Can't ya see I'll always be a music man | |
| (repeat) yeah | |
| (solo) | |
| Well my momma sits and worries about me for days | |
| Even though she really likes the way the boy plays | |
| My daddy tells her that I'm goin through a phase | |
| But that's just what he always says | |
| I hear what they're sayin but I take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah | |
| Can't ya see I'll always be a music man | |
| Well I've told you my story now here's what I've found | |
| To be happy you need only be real | |
| So don't let anyone try to turn your head around | |
| Just remember you are what you feel | |
| You see all of my life people been tryin to tell me what I am, oh yeah | |
| Can't ya see I'll always be a music man, oh yeah | |
| (repeat) |
