This is about being in the music business and what "success" means.
Song Description
This is a story about a performing songwriter who knows a lot of people in the industry and nobody has ever lent this person a hand. They've been ready for their name in lights and the front cover of a magazine... "Printing Press"... Then finally realizing, they are right where they're supposed to be...having faith in themselves... not oversold, not overexposed, just in the right place.

Lyrics
GET YOURSELF GOOD NIGHT'S REST, WE'LL ROLL OUT WITH THE MORNING SUN.
YOUR LIFE'S NOT A TOTAL MESS, YOU GOT SOME GOOD STUFF GOIN ON.
STILL IT'S BEEN ABOUT 40 YEARS, WADING THROUGH THIS PAPER TRAIL.
COULD YOU HAVE LED ME ON, THINKING I WAS ONE OF THEM?
I GOTTA LEARN HOW TO MOVE ON, PUT MY FAITH IN THIS HIRED GUN.
YOU LIGHT UP MY HALO, SO I CAN SEE, SO I CAN SEE.
YOU TOOK OFF MY BLINDFOLD, IT'S A BEAUTY THING, IT'S A BEAUTY THING.
I SEE YOUR SWEET SOUL, I GOT ALL I NEED, YOU ARE ALL I NEED.
I GET THE WAY THAT WE MOVE ALONG, EVEN THOUGH I'VE BEEN ON MY OWN.
I'VE BEEN READY THE FOR THE PRINTING PRESS, DO YOU THINK I'M OVERDRESSED?
I WASN'T CHOSEN FOR THE LEAD ROLE, AT LEAST I HAVEN'T BEEN OVERSOLD.
