Simon, Taylor, Denver, Cash
The first time I heard "Graceland", my heart fell on the floor
It stole my breath and shook me to the core
Now every Friday night I play it in another crowded bar
'Cause I think we all need grace no matter how drunk we are
Simon, Taylor, Denver, Cash - these songs can make me cry
But no one's really listening in a dive at ten at night
But it pays okay and it's hard to say "no" to a little dough
Still, I'm driving home and I never felt so low
Some nights you sing for no one in the corner of a bar
Some nights you sing for hundreds who all know who you are
It can be hollow as a raindrop, it can thunder, it can fill
And applause can even pay a couple bills
The first time that they cheered for me my heart went to the sky
I never knew there was a drug that could get me this high
So I've been working hard for hits of it since I was thirteen
But no one ever taught me how to wean
Tonight we played in Boston in this legendary place
There's a picture of Joni Mitchell from the 70's backstage
We sold out every seat in there, and we played a perfect show
Still, I'm driving home and I never felt so low
Some nights you sing for no one in the corner of a bar
Some nights you sing for hundreds who all know who you are
Man, it can heat you up like whiskey and go straight to your head
But applause, it cannot warm your bed
Oooh
Maybe one day, thousands will know all of my songs
And we'll come back to Boston and they will all sing along
Or maybe I'll have children and I'll write them lullabies
Either way, I'll do this 'til I die
Maine to Carolina through sunny fields and snow
Driving back on Christmas Eve all the way from Buffalo
Now, if you ask me if I would, I think that I'd do it all the same
'Cause if you don't know how to give, well then you don't know how to gain
Some nights you sing for no one in the corner of a bar
Some nights you sing for hundreds who all know who you are
And I just drove a million miles and I wanna go home
'Cause applause cannot save my soul
This applause, it cannot save my soul
Oooh
It stole my breath and shook me to the core
Now every Friday night I play it in another crowded bar
'Cause I think we all need grace no matter how drunk we are
Simon, Taylor, Denver, Cash - these songs can make me cry
But no one's really listening in a dive at ten at night
But it pays okay and it's hard to say "no" to a little dough
Still, I'm driving home and I never felt so low
Some nights you sing for no one in the corner of a bar
Some nights you sing for hundreds who all know who you are
It can be hollow as a raindrop, it can thunder, it can fill
And applause can even pay a couple bills
The first time that they cheered for me my heart went to the sky

Oooh
