Lyrics

DOIN MY OWN THANG
VERSE 1

When I was a young man I really liked rock and roll. I also liked

country , pop and a little soul. I wanted to be a singer but which one would I

choose? If I could do it all there's no way I could lose. I'd be doin

something nobody's ever done. Might write a song that could take me all the

way to number one. CHORUS

I'd show up for a concert with a dew rag on my head. Sport a glove on one

hand and wear my hair in dreads. White silk shirt, tore up jeans with a pair

of blue suede boots. I could sing songs about everything that reflected on

my roots. I could moonwalk across the stage gyrating with my hips. Belting

out my songs with a quiver on my lips. I'd have a soulful crooning rocking

style with a bit of country twang. Become an overnight sensation doin just

my own thang. VERSE 2

We all know if you're gonna make it on the music scene. You've gotta

bring something different if you know what I mean. There's a lot of good

singers out there and a lot of good musicians. But they all have regular jobs

like waiters and beauticians. I don't wanna be like everyone in the rank and

file. I really want to make it in my own unique style.

REPEAT CHORUS I'd be an overnight sensation just doin my own thang.
