Lyrics

You gave yourself a little time to try and make it happen.
You said you'd give up after a while but you never did.
Told yourself you'd be ok, you had an education.
Bought you a house and put food on your plate, but that's all it ever did.

Troubadour, you never really amounted to much, your life was strictly contract pay-per-view
Troubadour, your name was never in lights as such, so ask yourself what you were trying to do, trying to do

you waited for a break to come, you passed away a lifetime
success was only a sad little slum, compared to that palace of old.
Convinced yourself you'd be ok, celebrity stargazing
Speeding down rockstar freeway, without ever looking back
Oh, if only you'd just looked back

Troubadour etc...

Look at what you possessed, health, a family and all those friends, a springboard up to a year full of sunsets but you thought you could burn both ends. Is there still time to make amends?

Troubadour, you never really grasped this much, that stardom never had any time for you.
Well troubadour, come back to Earth and get in touch, cos real life has so much waiting for you

It's waiting for you...etc
