Sake of the Song - Hayes Carll[00:00:01]

Written by：Darrell Scott/Hayes Carll[00:00:02]

If you're nobody's business or you're front page news[00:00:19]

Folk Rock Country or Delta Blues[00:00:24]

Tell your truth however you choose[00:00:28]

And do it all for the sake of the song[00:00:32]

Yeah hitchhike and bus ride and rental cars[00:00:39]

Living rooms coffee houses rundown bars[00:00:43]

Ten thousand people or alone under the stars[00:00:48]

It's all for the sake of the song[00:00:52]

There's the man who wrote[00:00:58]

Your Cheatin' Heart[00:01:01]

Now he's lying through his tooth[00:01:03]

And he plays it on a stolen harp[00:01:07]

That's soaked in hundred proof[00:01:12]

And there's one who might be happy[00:01:16]

But for the writer's curse[00:01:20]

She lost the crowd's attention[00:01:24]

By the forty second verse[00:01:28]

It's the travelling salesman the girl next door[00:01:33]

On the empty room to the bird on the corner[00:01:38]

Less is less until more is more[00:01:42]

And it's all for the sake of the song[00:01:46]

And there's the young man on the marquee[00:02:07]

He's the son of some well known[00:02:11]

And his father bought the tour bus[00:02:16]

So he could strike out on his own[00:02:20]

And there's the brooding contradiction[00:02:24]

Yeah he's holding Van Gogh's ear[00:02:29]

And he's taped it to his guitar[00:02:33]

In the hope someone will hear[00:02:37]

It's black berets and Nudie Suits[00:02:42]

The next big thing or getting back to your roots[00:02:46]

High tops flannels or duct tape boots[00:02:51]

And it's all for the sake of the song[00:02:55]

And there's the mystic there's the legend[00:03:15]

There's the best that's ever been[00:03:20]

And there's the voice of a generation[00:03:24]

Who wants to pass this way again[00:03:28]

And there's record deals and trained seals[00:03:33]

And puppets on a string[00:03:37]

And they're all just trying to figure out[00:03:41]

What makes the caged bird sing[00:03:46]

It's lights camera on with the show[00:03:52]

Lifetime to get ready now go cat go[00:03:56]

Where it all ends nobody knows[00:04:01]

But it's all for the sake of the song[00:04:05]

So if you're nobody's business or you're front page news[00:04:11]

Folk Rock Country or Delta Blues[00:04:17]

Tell your truth however you choose[00:04:22]

And do it all for the sake of the song[00:04:26]
