lyrics

Well I used to make a living selling CDs out of the trunk
Oh but Spotify has left me dry, now I can’t even afford to get drunk
So I guess I’ll take my pennies and buy myself a cake
Cause that’s just as much as this young buck stands to make

I’ve played my share of bar rooms, I’ve played my share of streets
I’ll play my share most anywhere for a place to stay, something to eat
I’ve sung for several thousand but I’ll sing one just for you
Just ask that one guy in Moncton who came through

Life gets pretty hard but you’ll get by
After all it’s only a ride
Find a song to sing, and let that sucker ring
And smile

You see a song is like a hero, it too often goes unsung
And dreams can lose their colour, like a piece of meat that’s cooked well done
But just remember why you started, and those crazy nights with friends
All the times we thought would never end

And I’ve learned that tears are gentle, and I’ve felt a handshake firm
And I know to go see Poppy, when there’s something new I want to learn
And it’s not about the answers, for the river doesn’t care
Just try to ask a question while you’re there

Life gets pretty hard but you’ll get by
After all it’s only a ride
Find a song to sing, and let that sucker ring
And smile
