lyrics

Music Man

Strike up the band Set out on your quest
Over the land now Across the US
Such a brilliant glow With applause for your show
Dine on divine O Celebrate the time
With beer, whiskey and wine

Then like a gun As sudden as death
The joy the fun gone in a short breath
Shot holes in your song Where the muse belonged
No stage for your mind Just rage to unwind
With beer, whiskey and wine

But O you were the music man
But a man nevertheless
O you were the music man
Why did you go to rest?
Why did you go to rest?

So the band was done with family too far
Many lives were spun In the dimming of the star
You gave it all up Unlike your full cup
Even love couldn’t shine ‘Cause you were blind
With beer, whiskey and wine

But O you were the music man
But a man nevertheless
O you were the music man
Why did you go to rest?
I get you now I confess
I forgive you now I confess
I’m a lot like you I confess
