lyrics

Man, That Boy Could Play

Started up age twelve with a cheap ass toy guitar
Worked out a G. Strummed out a coupla bars
Started working on lead about the age of seventeen
My dad said son go be the best that you can be

So I left home without any plans except one
And it's the one you're lookin at

Cos all I wanna do is this. Bending strings and penning hits
Grow a little stronger each day
All I wanna do is try to be so good that when I die
The only thing my tombstone will say is "Man that boy could play"

Got myself a band. Got a lifetime love affair
Found the blues inside. I didn't even know it was there
Surprised me to find peace playing every day that passed
I like to make like every show could be my very last
