V1
You spend all your time writing song after song
Sittin’ around the house every day pickin’ on your battered Gibson
Just gotta have another one to play at that damn club
You’re gone five nights a week, home at two and I’m about done
Chorus
While you’re looking for another rhyme - I’m out working overtime
’N thinking about a reason to stay - maybe for one more day
Rhymes, rhymes, rhymes, could they be a sign
Reason, reason to stay, oh, can I find a way
SOLO
V2
There’s nothing on your mind but booking the next gig
You’re putting more money in the ole van than on me
Always saying your rhymes are gonna bail us outa debt
Today I went to grocery store, guess what, nothing there was free
Chorus
While you’re looking for another rhyme - I’m out working overtime
’N thinking about a reason to stay - maybe for one more day
Rhymes, rhymes, rhymes, lines, times, fine, whine, whine, whine
Reason, reason to stay - or should I get away
Rhymes, reasons, my whole life is rhymes and reasons
Rhymes, rhymes, reasons to stay, something tells me this is the day
