My buddies told me, "Man you got what it takes"
But it really cost me, I made some bad mistakes
Yes, I been busted, did some time in the can
Some things don't work out just the way that you planned
Still I love to sing, it's everything
Just to hear that guitar ring
Still I love to sing, it's everything
Just to hear that guitar ring
I was a real bad dude, I used to drink and fight
But that's all behind me, you know I'm doin' alright
I keep my nose clean, you know what I mean?
You'd straighten out yourself if you'd seen what I've seen
Still I love to sing, it's everything
Just to hear that guitar ring
Still I love to sing, it's everything
Just to hear that guitar ring
Now every evenin' when the sun goes down
I grab my guitar, I head uptown
Some come for dancin', others come just to get drunk
Too many more nightclubs, I'm gonna need my head shrunk
Still I love to sing, it's everything
Just to hear that guitar ring
I love to sing, it's everything
Just to hear that guitar ring
