Well, the band was on its final break
When he came walking in
With eyes that showed more than his age
He was drunk, worn and thin
He sat down behind-a the old piano
And he ran through a couple of notes
And he said, would somebody buy me a drink, boys
The kind to help me clear my throat?
Then he said
What would you give to hear a song?
What price do memories bring?
It ain't every day you get to hear a living legend sing
I may forget a line or two
A few words now and then
It takes a drink to make me think
And live it all again
Uh-huh, this gray you see don't bother Jerry Lee
And neither do these lines
I may have seen some better days, boys
But God knows, I ain't reached my prime
I've got some scars from a woman's war
And playing those one-night stands
Lord only knows, if I had the time
I'd do it all again
