1974

I was tired as I could be
I think I was countin my money
When I should a been countin sheep

If I would make my music for money

Chorus:
I said, I know that this may sound funny

I wont make my music for money
No, Im gonna make my music for me

He said, the people only buy the love songs
Rock n roll and not too long
He said, son you got to be commercial
If you want to turn the people on

And I said, turnin on the people
Now thats a beautiful place to be
But if I spend my time makin them up a rhyme
Well, whos gonna turn on me?

Repeat chorus:

Well now I went up to country
And Ill tell you all about the scene
I found a place with much charm and much grace
That wasnt touched by the music machine

Whoa, the people were havin a good time
Makin music all day long
And nobody cared if they ever got paid
One penny for playin a song

Repeat chorus:

Repeat chorus:
Whoa, I know...
