I'll Be Around

Oh this Christmas is gonna be better than the last
I'll have a little bit more money, I'll blow a little bit more cash
And in the eye of the storm, I now know who has my back
An actor by the last name of Crowe, and a blue collar man named McGrath

I took the biggest leap of faith, I settled down in the ocean breeze
I do a lot for my family in the 9 to 5, now I'm doing this for me
Most days I feel 47, count my rings like an old oak tree
My heart has a million women and eleven have loved me

And if you want some who'll never bring you down
Babe I'll be around, babe I'll be around
If you want a prayer warrior to stand his ground
Babe I'll be around, babe I'll be around
If you want that good love that you never found
If you're scared that your heart beats a lonely sound
If you want to come home and cry once in awhile
Babe I'll be around, babe I'll be around

I took a beating on Wall Street, lost myself at seventeen
Made a record, toured America, red white and blue bruises on my sheets
Then some stranger touched my shoulder, gave me a gold box I'd never seen
Said inside here lays the money, now you've got to find the key

So I went off into the wilderness, I came back a millionaire
When I take my shirt off you will see my scars they are my pride and joy to bear
Don't get me wrong I love the money, and with it all the people who I take care
But I'm still looking for that hippie princess, with the flowers in her hair

And if you want some who'll never bring you down
Babe I'll be around, babe I'll be around
If you want a prayer warrior to stand his ground
Babe I'll be around, babe I'll be around
If you want that good love that you never found
If you're scared that your heart beats a lonely sound
If you want to come home and cry once in awhile
Babe I'll be around, babe I'll be around
