lyrics

I can paint a picture with these six strings
and a guitar pick,
Make it overflow with passion, so much so I know
you can't help but feel it, too.
I can sprinkle it with words that will make you tremble
with the things they stir inside of you.
So won't you please let me share it with you?
Becasue it don't mean a thing alone in my bedrooom.
No, it don't mean a thing alone in my bedoom

I won't lie and say I wouldn't take the fame and the fortune
if they were handed to me,
But let's be honest now, that's as hopeless a goal
as working just to win the lottery.
No, I still write these songs because my compensation is
something else entirely
So you could make me the richest man alive if you would
write me a check to the amount of five minutes of your time.

What I feel, I know you've felt it, too.
What you feel, you know I've felt it, too.
I need this song to ground myself, and connect myself to this world.
So, just listen, please.
Just listen, please.

This is my art, and all I want is to
share it with somebody new.
With a little luck you might open your ears and
let it speak to you.
The best of times, the worst of times, you've always had
someone there to walk down that road with you.
So won't you please let me share this journey with you?
Because it don't mean a thing alone in my bedroom.
No, it don't mean a thing alone in my bedroom.
