tunesmith

Johnny Rivers

Married to the road
There's no other way to say it.
Baby found out
Quite early in the game.

If I belong to my songs
She chose not to play it.
Now I walk down the street
And I hear them call my name.

Tunesmith, tunesmith
Sing me a song.
Give me your laughter
Give me your tears.
Tunesmith, tunesmith
Sing me a song.
But who sings a song for the tunesmith?
Who sings a song for the tunesmith?

She could have changed my mind
If anyone could do it
That's why I know
I'll always be this way.

And now I've got fame
I find there's nothing to it.
I remember how I loved her
When I hear the people say.

This hotel room is all I own
Now that all my friends are gone.
All alone at the break of day
I can still hear them say.
