For twenty-odd years
I have strummed on guitars
Five thousand lost flat picks
Four fingertip scars
I must have broken
A million G-strings
Picking and strumming
And playing these things
Banging and tuning
And playing these things
And it's been sixteen years
Now that I've written songs
Over a hundred and still going strong
About drinking and hockey
And flying above
Again and again
About unhappy love
Over and over
Unhappy love
And it's music for money
But I do it for fun
Oh, I know how to do it
It's easy to do it
Easily done
To stand on a stage
Doesn't make me afraid
I'm comfortable up there
It's gotten me laid
And it always amazes me
When I get paid
So here I am doing
All that I can do
You're paying
I'm playing
I'm grateful to you
Indoors and outdoors
At home and abroad
I sing these songs
And you people applaud
You haven't changed much
You still applaud
Thank you so much for watching
Thank you so much for watching
See you next time
Bye
