The Opener (Bonus Track)

歌詞

Ladies and gents, well I take no offense No, I'm not who you're here to see And it won't be long till the headliner's on And then you'll be done with me So don't rack your brain, no you've not heard my name Or a single song of mine And if you need to go potty, well it's out in the lobby But I'd go now while there's still time 'Cause I'm the opening act, don't get much time Maybe four tracks or five at best So I play only songs that I hope make you long To go out and buy the rest And it is okay if I choose to be shameless 'Cause tonight I'm not getting paid So as soon as I'm able I'll be out by my table Telling you about my MySpace Well, I wish I could say with the truth on my face That the reason I'm here tonight Is 'cause they like my songs and they just can't go wrong Without the opening I provide But the truth is I'm cheap, and I don't take much space Because it's just me and my guitar So when I get to the solo, well I'm up here alone So I'll just have to whistle that part Yeah, I'm the opening act, don't get much time Maybe four tracks or five at best So I play only songs that I hope make you long To go out and buy the rest And it is okay if I choose to be shameless Did I mention I'm not getting paid? So as soon as I'm able I'll be out by my table And if you buy a CD, well you're enabling me To put bread on my plate, take my wife on a date Well, I better stop now before you tune me out But don't forget about my MySpace
