How come you ask me what I'm doing here
With my guitar in hand
I'm at the microphone stand
I think the reason should be very clear
You see the spotlight it's for a good night
Something happens to you
And the same thing happens to you
So if I sing about the places you've been to
You can see them once again through me
But it's only me
So if you catch me handing you a line
Please forgive me ah but let me be
I've got to do it almost all the time
It fills a big hole in my young soul
Something happens to you
And the same thing happens to me
So if I sing about the places that you've been to
You can see them once again through me
But it's only me
