[Verse 1]
If you're nobody's business or you're front page news
Folk, Rock, Country or Delta Blues
Tell your truth however you choose
And do it all for the sake of the song
Yeah, hitchhike, and bus ride and rental cars
Living rooms, coffee houses, rundown bars
Ten thousand people or alone under the stars
It's all for the sake of the song
[Chorus 1]
There's the man who wrote "Your Cheatin' Heart"
Now he's lying through his tooth
And he plays it on a stolen harp
That's soaked in hundred proof
And there's one who might be happy
But for the writer’s curse
She lost the crowd's attention
By the forty second verse
[Verse 2]
It's the travelling salesman, the girl next door
On the empty room to the bird on the corner
Less is less until more is more
And it's all for the sake of the song
If you're nobody's business or you're front page news
Folk, Rock, Country or Delta Blues
Tell your truth however you choose
And do it all for the sake of the song
Yeah, hitchhike, and bus ride and rental cars
Living rooms, coffee houses, rundown bars
Ten thousand people or alone under the stars
It's all for the sake of the song
[Chorus 1]
There's the man who wrote "Your Cheatin' Heart"
Now he's lying through his tooth
And he plays it on a stolen harp
That's soaked in hundred proof
And there's one who might be happy
But for the writer’s curse
She lost the crowd's attention
By the forty second verse
[Verse 2]
It's the travelling salesman, the girl next door
On the empty room to the bird on the corner
Less is less until more is more
And it's all for the sake of the song
