Sing for the Song

Sing for the Song - Bobby Bare

Sometimes you sing for the money

Sometimes you sing for

The show

Sometimes you sing for the dewy eyed darlings

Still makes them cry don't you know

Sometimes you sing for the glory but glory don't last

Very long

And through the haze of the stage can you look

Back to days

When you used to sing for the song

Sing for the song boy just like you did when

You stood on that corner

And didn't even feel the glow

Sing for the song boy just like you did before

All of the flash bulbs

And c*****e and bright things and ladies got hold of

Your soul

But you really don't make too much money and you

Donn't give much of a show

And them dewy eyed darling next week will be crying

For somebody else don't you know

But the music's become your burden and the words all

Sound twisted and wrong

And the hits that you sell don't taste quite as

Well

As when you used to sing for the song

Sing for the song boy

Just like you did when

You stood on that corner

And didn't even feel the glow

Sing for the song boy just like you did before

All of the flash bulbs

And c*****e and bright things and ladies got hold of

Your soul

Sing for the song boy just like you did when

You stood on that corner

And didn't even feel the glow

Sing for the song boy just like you did before

All of the flash bulbs

And c*****e and bright things and ladies got hold of

Your soul

Sing for the song
