Lyrics

PLAY, WON'T YOU PLAY

JUST AN AMATEUR GUITAR PLAYER CHASIN' CLOUDS IN A FARAWAY SKY,
PLAYIN' BARS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN.
CHOKIN' DOWN CHEAP WHISKEY THREE SHOWS A NIGHT ,
LOOKIN' FOR A BREAK TO COME AROUND.

PLAY, WON'T YOU PLAY ANOTHER SONG OR TWO.
REMIND ME OF A GIRL I LEFT BEHIND.
PLAY, KEEP ON PLAYIN' BOY, TILL YOU'VE PAID YOUR DUES.
PLAY FOR ALL THE TEARS YOU'VE EVER CRIED - DOWN DEEP INSIDE.

SOMETIMES YOU REALLY FEEL YOUR SONG AND PUT YOUR HEART IN THE MELODY.
AND OTHER TIMES YOUR MIND IS SOMEWHERE ELSE.
YOU MAKE SOME PEOPLE HAPPY, YOU MAKE SOME PEOPLE SAD.
YOU FILL THEIR EMPTY HEARTS WITH YOUR MAGIC SPELL.

PLAY, WON'T YOU PLAY, ANOTHER SONG OR TWO.
REMIND ME OF A GIRL I LEFT BEHIND.
PLAY, KEEP ON PLAYIN' BOY, TILL YOU'VE PAID YOUR DUES .
PLAY FOR ALL THE TEARS YOU'VE EVER CRIED.

SEARCHIN' FOR YOUR HAPPINESS, YOU'VE GONE SO MANY MILES.
MAKIN' MUSIC IS ALL YOU'VE EVER KNOWN.
SO COVER UP YOUR LONLINESS WITH ANOTHER SONG.
SWALLOW ALL YOUR PAIN WITH ANOTHER SHOW.
