Music Man

Strike up the band
Set out on your quest
Over the land now
Across the US
Such a brilliant glow
With applause for your show
Dine on divine O
Celebrate the time
With beer whiskey and wine

Then like a gun
As sudden as death
The joy the fun gone
In a short breath
Shot holes in your song
Where the muse belonged
No stage for your mind
Just rage to unwind
With beer whiskey and wine

But O you were the Music Man
But a man nevertheless
O you were the Music Man
Why did ya go to rest
Why did ya go to rest

So the band was done
With family too far
Many lives were spun
In the dimming of the star
But you gave it all up
Unlike your full cup
Even love couldn't shine
'Cause you were blind
With beer whiskey and wine

But O you were the Music Man
But a man nevertheless
O you were the Music Man
Why did ya go to rest
I get you now I confess
I forgive ya now I confess
I'm a lot like you I confess
