Tunesmith
Jimmy Webb
Married to the road
There's no other way to say it.
Baby found out
Quite early in the game.
If i belong to my songs
She chose not to play it.
Now i walk down the street
And i hear them call my name.
Tunesmith, tunesmith
Sing me a song.
Give me your laughter
Give me your tears.
Tunesmith, tunesmith
Sing me a song.
But who sings a song for the tunesmith?
Who sings a song for the tunesmith?
She could have changed my mind
If anyone could do it
That's why i know
I'll always be this way.
And now i've got fame
I find there's nothing to it.
I remember how i loved her
When i hear the people say.
This hotel room is all i own
Now that all my friends are gone.
All alone at the break of day
I can still hear them say.
