The other day I was on the phone
And I found I’m not as smooth as the average Joe
‘Cause nothing that came out of my mouth seemed to come out right
The smartest thing that I said was goodbye
I tried to figure out just what went wrong
And I saw that my lucky socks weren’t on
So I clothed my feet but it still didn’t feel too right
Then I thought to myself, I haven’t touched my guitar all night
Come on now, we’re swinging hard
We’re going to jam all night in my backyard
But when the sun comes up I’ll start it out again
‘Cause when the night is young and the guitar’s hot
And the music here is all I got
We’ll be playing the music to the soundtrack of my life
I’ll throw together a rhyme and a half
And from time to time I’ll get a courtesy laugh
But it never seems to work out in the end
‘Cause I always seem to fail whenever I pretend to be somebody else
My life was giving me too much grief
And I figured I could use some good relief
Then I remembered I was in a band
And a movie once told me that’s how you stick it to the man
Come on now, we’re swinging hard
We’re going to jam all night in my backyard
But when the sun comes up I’ll start it out again
‘Cause when the night is young and the guitar’s hot
And the music here is all I got
We’ll be playing the music to the soundtrack of my life
