Lyrics
Just getting off the road the Fruit and Fiber tour
Another farmer’s market gig in case you weren’t sure
Got paid in local veggies and some leftover cheese
Roasting in the sun at only 90 degrees
And all I brought home is a whole lot of nothin’ for you
Lugged all our guitars sang every song we knew
Mostly our originals and a cover or two
Hoped to sell our CD’s make a dollar or so
But folks just came for produce and away they would go
And all I brought home is a whole lot of nothin’ for you
Never going to be recognized on the street
Never going to be on TV
Should you decide to stream one of our songs
We’ll make half a cent, divided by three
We don’t rely on music for paying the rent
If we did we’d end up, living in a tent
We just keep on rolling cuz performing is fun
But ache from head to toe just as soon as we’re done
But all I brought home is a whole lot of nothin’ for you
Never going to be recognized on the street
Never going to be on TV
Tip jar is empty no one’s buying the merch
It’s good to know that, we’re playing for free
Just booked another gig the Fruit and Fiber tour
Not sure how many more of these I can endure
Fresh vegetables in season and the vendors are nice
But the audience avoids us like our heads full of lice
So all I brought home is a whole lot of nothin’ for you
All I brought home is a whole lot of nothin’ for you
All I brought home is a whole lot of nothin’ for you
