Been thinkin' real hard
been thinkin' real strong
been thinkin' 'bout
writtin' me a song -
ya, writtin' me a song -
Got me a shovel
and a pile of dirt
got my name sewed on
the front of my shirt -
ya, on the front of my shirt -
I'm just a simple man
everyday, doin' what I can
just a simple man
ain't got no big plan -
ya, ain't got no big plan -
Been workin' all day
been workin' all night
been workin' so hard
I'm a terrible sight -
ya, I'm a terrible sight -
One of these days
I'm a gonna retire
and when I do
ain't never gonna expire -
ya, ain't never gonna expire -
Well now, looks like
I done wrote me a song
it ain't too short, and
it ain't too long -
no, no, it ain't too long -
All I need now
is to learn how to play guitar
otherwise I'm afraid my music career
won't get too far -
ya, ya, won't get too far -
This sounds like a song that Randy Travis might sing....in a deep contemplative bass. Yes you need to start learning how to strum that guitar so you can sing your songs.
