Lyrics

SONGWRITER BLUES
Written by: Howard Delnick

Verse:
JUST SITTIN' ROUND THINKIN', HALF GOIN' INSANE
TRYIN' TO FIND SOMETHIN' THAT WILL MAKE ME A NAME
BUT THE WORDS DON'T COME EASY, CAUSE SOME ARE STILL WRONG
CAUSE THEY DON'T GO TOGETHER, TO MAKE A WHOLE SONG

THAT'S THE SONGWRITERS GAME, SOME WIN AND SOME LOSE
A CHANCE AT THE BIG TIME, THE FAME AND REVIEWS
OH, WORDS ON A PAPER, MY HEART AND MY MIND
JUST A BIT OF YOURSELF, AT A MOMENT IN TIME....

Chorus:
OH, FAME DON'T COME EASY, CAUSE YOU GOT TO PAY YOUR DUES
SO JUST WRITE ANOTHER LITTLE REFRAIN, TO THE SONGWRITER BLUES
OH, WE ALL COME DOWN THE SAME ROUGH ROAD
IT AIN'T NO DIFFERENT FOR ME OR YOU
AND MAYBE SOME DAY, YOU'LL BE A SONG WRITER TOO

Verse:
WELL WE ALL THINK WE'RE GOOD, GOIN' RIGHT TO THE TOP
LIVIN' A DREAM, WON'T LISTEN TO NOT
JUST WRITIN' AND SINGIN', CAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO
JUST ONE MORE LINE, TO THE SONGWRITER BLUES

Chorus:
OH, FAME DON'T COME EASY, CAUSE YOU GOT TO PAY YOUR DUES
SO JUST WRITE ANOTHER LITTLE REFRAIN, TO THE SONGWRITER BLUES
OH, WE ALL COME DOWN THE SAME ROUGH ROAD
IT AIN'T NO DIFFERENT FOR ME OR YOU
AND MAYBE SOME DAY, YOU'LL BE A SONG WRITER TOO
OH, MAYBE SOME DAY, YOU'LL BE A SONG WRITER TOO
