The Musician

Pat Bondy

A simple tune with a sweet melody. New version uploaded with the sound more balanced and a better vocal track, I think.

Lyrics:
You thought it could be simple
You hoped it would be fine
When you took the path long travelled
You took took it down the line
You know everything unravels,
But you were bold
In the spotlight

Cause you’re a musician
And you’re living on the road
You’re a musician
The highway takes a toll
The tour bus is rolling
You’ll be home in a week or two
Sure, you can keep it together
A glass of wine
When you are blue

You still hope to make it simple
Maybe it’s fine
The music still plays sweetly,
Well at least it does sometimes
But you’ve been gone a long long time,
Another whiskey
To pass the time

Cause you’re a musician
You’ve been living on the road
You’re a musician
Will you implode or explode
Tour bus is still rolling
Be home home in a month or two
It’s cold
You’re in the spotlight

Finally life is simple
Maybe it’s fine
You stepped out of the spotlight
Or did it just grow dim
But the music is young again
You play your heart and soul
Into the night
