A Lot Like Me - Mary Chapin Carpenter[00:00:00]

He was a long tall stranger[00:00:24]

From way down south[00:00:26]

Where he'd left his life behind[00:00:27]

He had a big old Gibson and a pickup truck[00:00:30]

And Shenandoah eyes[00:00:33]

And I remember him sitting in that local bar[00:00:36]

Where I earned my pay each night[00:00:39]

Singing my songs to empty chairs[00:00:43]

And going home half tight[00:00:46]

And so the nights rolled by like headlights[00:00:50]

Shining on a lonesome strip of tar[00:00:53]

I kept his words of kindness close to me[00:00:56]

Like a pick on my guitar[00:00:59]

And we talked about the singers[00:01:02]

And the songs we loved[00:01:03]

And the songs we'd most forgot[00:01:05]

In that rundown bar they'd make last call[00:01:08]

And I'd never want to stop[00:01:11]

'Cause I was living on nothing[00:01:13]

But a young girl's dreams[00:01:15]

With my cowboy boots and my old six string[00:01:17]

Hitching my wagon to a star[00:01:20]

Dreaming of leaving those local bars[00:01:23]

When I'd get him up at closing time[00:01:26]

For a couple of songs and a chance to shine[00:01:29]

Like the star that he longed to be[00:01:32]

He looked a Hell of a lot like me[00:01:35]

Well he'd played a lot of places where[00:01:48]

The only wages were his food[00:01:50]

And beer for free[00:01:52]

No fancy licks but he had him a gift[00:01:54]

For the kinds of songs he'd sing[00:01:57]

But you do what you can to be a satisfied man[00:02:00]

Just to have your peace of mind[00:02:03]

And so he gave it all up for a government job[00:02:06]

Where the paychecks come on time[00:02:09]

So now he comes to the bar[00:02:14]

To hear me play guitar[00:02:15]

And to share a drink or two[00:02:17]

And we sit swapping tales of where[00:02:20]

We've been and what we'd rather do[00:02:22]

Well there's a wealth of dangers[00:02:26]

When you're talking to strangers[00:02:27]

And I meet them all the time[00:02:29]

But my heart knew better than my head[00:02:32]

When I looked into those yes[00:02:35]

'Cause I was living on nothing[00:02:37]

But a young girl's dreams[00:02:39]

With my cowboy boots and my old six string[00:02:41]

Hitching my wagon to a star[00:02:44]

Dreaming of leaving those local bars[00:02:47]

When I'd get him up at closing time[00:02:50]

For a couple of songs and a chance to shine[00:02:53]

Like the star that he longed to be[00:02:56]

He looked a Hell of a lot like me[00:02:59]

Well maybe I'll quit when I've got me a kid[00:03:24]

And a place to call my own[00:03:27]

But tonight there ain't nobody there[00:03:30]

Waiting up for me at home[00:03:33]

It's a helluva way to live from day to day[00:03:36]

Not knowing where you're bound[00:03:39]

But the look in his eyes made me realize[00:03:42]

I was glad for the life I'd found[00:03:45]

'Cause I was living on nothing[00:03:48]

But a young girl's dreams[00:03:50]

With my cowboy boots and my old six string[00:03:51]

Hitching my wagon to a star[00:03:54]

Dreaming of leaving those local bars[00:03:57]

When I'd get him up at closing time[00:04:00]

For a couple of songs and a chance to shine[00:04:03]

Like the star that he longed to be[00:04:06]

He looked a Hell of a lot like me[00:04:09]

Like the star that he'd always be[00:04:12]

He looked a Hell of a lot like me[00:04:15]
