Lyrics

"MUSIC MAN" © 2022 William Livesay
I was just a boy as I recall
When I heard lightening on the radio and I would heed the call
With a hair brush for a microphone my image in the mirror
Looking back at me I could see a music man
I traded in that hair brush for an old brown box guitar
With a length of rope around my neck I held it to my heart
Unbending and rebellious my dreams were sinking fast
As my daddy's hand would say to me you'll never be a music man
I live in love with life as a music man
The love is unrequited and I don’t give a damn
Because my heart was set on fire by something so much higher
And looking back I'd do it all again
I’d be a music man
In my high school years the girls got bolder playing kiss and tell
They told me about a juke joint where a band was raising hell
It was like some crazy incantation calling out my name
Saying come with me so you can be a music man.
I live in love with life as a music man
The love is unrequited but I don’t give a damn
Because my heart was set on fire by something so much higher
And looking back I'd do it all again
I’d be a music man
Life is good I can't complain I've seen a lot and met some names
With a guitar that was only meant for me
There ain't nothing like the feeling I get when I need healing
Than to have that six-string hanging low down around my knees
I live in love with life as a music man
The love is unrequited and I don’t give a damn
Because my heart was set on fire by something so much higher
And looking back I'd do it all again
I live in love with life as a music man
I wouldn’t change it for the world
And it’s not as if I can
Because my heart was set on fire by something so much higher
And looking back I'd do it all again
I’d be a music man
