I am no different than any other musician who has found that they finally need to settle down and "get a real job". Playing music on weekends to fulfill the needs of my heart and working during the week to fulfill the needs of my family. You gotta do what you gotta do. :)
lyrics
Weekend Musician, Music Man
Singing his songs and doing the best he can.
Wondering if anyone has ever heard...a single word.
He keeps his day job just to make ends meet.
He's got three kids; keeps shoes on their feet.
His wife she waits all along, for him to come home.
I know she loves me; wants me home tonight.
I know she needs me to keep her warm in the night.
But the music plays, I can't go home.
Just me and the boys stay-in up all alone.
I long to tell her I love her so; but I just can't go home.
I know she loves me; wants me home tonight.
I know she needs me to keep her warm in the night.
But the music plays, I can't go home.
Just me and the boys stay-in up all alone.
I long to tell her I love her so; but I just can't go home.
Not while the music plays...
I can't Home...
Not while the music plays...
I can't Home...
