Lyrics

If I drank a little whiskey you’d believe me
If I smoked while I played you’d stay a while
If I had a few more tattoos and chains on my boots
Then you might see my name all up in lights

But I am just a man with a guitar in my hands
Trying to carve some light out of three minutes of darkness
And love is like my sin forever breaking me again
It seems my pencil’s at its best when life’s the hardest
In a downpour of rain I search for fire
A songwriter

If I were a freedom fighter you’d revere me
If I waved the flag of change then you’d see in time
If I screamed out for peace ‘til I bled in the streets
And I died a martyr then you’d never forget me

But am just a man with a guitar in my hands
Trying to carve some light out of three minutes of darkness
And love is like my sin forever breaking me again
It seems my pencil’s at its best when life’s the hardest
In a downpour of rain I search for fire
A songwriter

And you’ll never know my name
You’ll never know my name

Cause I am just a man with a guitar in my hands
Trying to carve some light out of three minutes of darkness
And love is like my sin forever breaking me again
It seems my pencil’s at its best when life’s the hardest
In a downpour of rain I search for fire
Just a songwriter

And you’ll never know my name
You’ll never know my name
