Just a man against a song,
it might take him all night long,
strung out over 16 frets,
hasn't got it right just yet.
All the lyrics are generic
he can't find that happy ending
his sore callouses keep blending
efforts folks will just forget.
Just a man against a song
like a boxer in the ring
looking for that perfect hook
but the struggle's punishing
never getting close enough to clinch'
that hit success can bring....
never finding that sweet magic
that will let his soul take wing.
Gotta a bottle of Jack Daniels
and some serenading spaniels,
howling over his Les Paul
that appallingly gives him less
then it did when he was winning
and his songs were called the best....
Working inbto the wee hours
seldom getting any rest.
Just a man against a song
like a boxer in the ring
looking for that perfect hook
but the song keeps punishing
never getting close enough to clinch'
that hit success can bring.....
never finding that sweet magic
that will let his soul take wing.
He considers throwing in a towel,
grab a shower, let the damn dogs howl,
but his muse is in his corner
with that "Take your best shot!" speech...
Then he's up against the ropes
that usually hang a lesser man,
in the wee hours of the morning
trying everything he can.....
Till he hears a noise
that he knows too well
his alarm goes off,
and it sounds like "hell,"
got a real job
with fast food to sell
once again ....
saved by the bell....
So he trudges off
to another day,
lost within that song
as he spreads mayonnaise,
till he punches that clock
that leads the way
back to songs that will
make him pay.
Just another man against a song
like a boxer in the ring
looking for that perfect hook
but the song keeps punishing
never getting close enough to clinch'
that hit success can bring.
never getting close enough to clinch
that hit success can bring....
never finding that sweet magic
that will let his soul take wing.
