Story Behind The Song

I was playin' around with a southern rock type riff on my guitar one nite and these are the words that came to me.

Song Description

A song about a rock star what he does he does for the fans! He know's he's the voice of the fans! And that that is what he was born to do.

Somethin' To Say:

1st Verse: Smoke and mirrors, whiskey and cream.
And somethin' keeps remindin' me,
don't forget about your dreams!

Midnight parties, where I'm the only guest.
And a body can't get no sleep,
when a mind refuses to rest.

I've got a hundred guitars,
but I ain't got time to play!
I've exceeded my excess,
but I've still got somethin' to say,
I've still got somethin' to say!

2nd Verse: I didn't make the show one night,
man I, couldn't face the crowd.
I couldn't take the heat of the lights,
and the guitars was too damn loud.

Well I got people tearin' at my clothes,
everybody want a piece of my art.
I had to copyright my soul,
so the greedy wouldn't steal my heart.

And now another sound check,
We'll get a check for another sound.
But don't get me wrong, it ain't about the pay
We still got somethin' to say,
we still have somethin' to say!

Chorus: And don't forget I sing for you!
And I won't quit until your through.
Like a bell, my words is ringin' true,
'Cause that's what I was born to do,
Yeah! That's what I was born to do.



Instrumental:

3rd Verse: And now we step on the tour bus,
and , take that lonesome ride.
Another crowd is waitin' for us,
and we got knothin' to hide.

I feel the road beneath my bed
as we glide on through the night.
I still hear what the last crowd said.
Yeah, I guess we got it right.

So stand in line and buy your fare
We'll see you in a day.
You best believe we sure as hell care
That you still got somethin' to say,
yeah, you still got somethin' to say.

Chorus out: And don't forget I sing for you!
And I won't quit until your through.
Like a bell, my words is ringin' true,
Cause that's what I was born to do,
Yeah! That's what I was born to do.

outro: We still got somethin' to say,
we still got somethin' to say,
we still got somethin' to say,
we still got somethin' to say!
And we're gonna say it!
