All They Wanna Hear

Ive written songs about love, Songs about war Beat up cars and old screen doors Youth and truth Lies and money Some of em are sad and others are funny And ive Sang about sunshine sang about rain Lookin out the window of a big jet plane Songs about home and this rode im on And songs just to find the strength to carry on I reckon ive written about a million songs so far Dirty clubs and motel rooms Tryin to be a big rock star But all they wanna hear is sittin at a bar Ya know that bartender song The one about crashin that car So I sing it every night But I save it for last And everybody sings along Might even sign me an autograph Well ive strained my brain and tried to search For great ideas that just wont work Complex metaphors double entendre Tried to be more than a one hit wonder Scheming on a rhyme rackin' my melon How long I been doin' this aint no tellin' Workin' like the devil to be Avant-garde Well hell maybe I just try to hard I reckon ive written about a million songs so far Dirty clubs and motel rooms Tryin' to be a big rock star But all they wanna hear is sittin' at a bar Ya know that bartender song The one about crashin' that car So I sing it every night But I save it for last And everybody sings along Might even sign me an autograph I'm not complainin' not at all I'm just sayin' If I could find a way to write a million more like that one Then maybe that drunk guy with all his sloppy friends You could find at all our shows wouldn't be yelling Play that trailer park song when we're just two songs in But who knows All they wanna hear is sittin' at a bar Ya know that bartender song The one about crashin' that car So I sing it every night But I save it for last And everybody sings along Might even sign me an autograph
