lyrics

Ain´t saying nothing, nothing but the truth
if you don´t believe me that is up to you
and it is you, who is acting like a fool
I don´t wanna hear you singing the same old Blues

Well from the beginning music was my fate
and for sure you knew that before being my mate
now it is too, too late; it´s no use for a debate
Yes I´m gonna move I´ve got a date

Uuuuuuuuuhh that´s it,
That´s another argument with my babe
well, you know, I´m a musician
and that is exactly what is all about
because the stages doesn´t knock on your door and
say: Hello, do you want to play here?
No, you’ve got to look for them
get on the van, back on the road, up the line
If you want to play, you got to be on the road, man

And this is something my babe
don´t want to understand, you Know?
Well, I´m gonna tell you what I do. Listen:
I go, play, get my money and drive back home
and in the moment I come across my door
she starts singing the same old song.

Goes this way:
“I know you don´t love me ´cos you´re never at home
you´re always on the spree while I´m here alone
uuuuuuuh, always here on my own”

And that´s no fun, ´cos I´m gonna tell you what I got:
I got nothing, I got nothing but a band on the road
But she doesn´t seem to understand, she kept on saying:

“That´s a vagrant´s pastime , not a decent job
You don´t get enough money and you make me sob
uuuuuuuuh, oh, yes you make me sob”

I got nothing, I got nothing but a band on the road
I got nothing, I got nothing but a band on the road

I´ve been playing in the big, big cities
and the small villages too
and It has been worth every place i´ve been to
´cos I´ve been appreciated and understood

So come on please please please try not to forget
all the things that I´ve left behind
to live the life I choose it´s the risk that I take
This is all I´ve got but I feel fine
