Lyrics

“My Song”
Capers Simmons

VERSE I
I can’t play no blues ‘cause I don’t hurt that much
And I can’t play no soul, ‘cause I’ve never been loved that much
And I can’t play no rock and roll music, ‘cause I’m not loud enough
So I guess I’ll play my song  - I guess I’ll just play my song.

PRECHORUS I
I can tell you the truth or I can tell you a lie
Tell me what you want to hear
And I can’t be you, I can only be me
Tell me what do you care?

CHORUS I
When you’re feeling low from the get-go and your get-up-and-go got up and got gone
That’s the blues, y’all – far as I know
When you feel aglow down deep in your soul and it makes you whole like the Holy Ghost
That’s soul, y’all – far as I know
And when you’re feeling high as you could ever go – that’s rock and roll
But I’m not sure, and I might play ‘em wrong
So I’ll just play my song

VERSE II
I can’t play no guitar, ‘cause my fingers don’t move that fast
And I can’t play no horn ‘cause my breath won’t last
And I can’t play for keeps ‘cause I’m not brave enough
So I guess I’ll play my song  - I guess I’ll just play my song.

PRECHORUS II
And I can close both my eyes or I can believe
Or I can do both
And I can wear a disguise or I can be seen
Let my life show

~ CHORUS I ~

CHORUS II
When you’re feeling good then you’re feeling bad, 
When you’re living and you’re loving and the loving makes you sad
That’s the blues, y’all – far as I know
When your  heads in the clouds and you’re seeing stars
When the Lords laying hands and healing scars
That’s soul, y’all – far as I know
When the music shines like sunlight, well that’s the good life
No matter what, for my whole life long
I’m gonna play my song
