old man's symphony - david nail lyrics
my father plays piano
any song you wanna hear
he can read music
but he’d rather play by ear
i grew up just trying hard
to keep up with the man
hoping one day i could be
the leader of the band
oo-oo-oo-oo
i remember growing up
not knowing where to lean
could i ever measure up
if i did the music thing
never much on singing
he’d just rather play along
guess that’s how i ended up
with this microphone
i can hold a guitar
but i’ll never play the lead
the only way i’m gonna entertain
is in these words i sing
i could be famous
but i’ll never wish to be
i just wanna be an ode
in the old man’s symphony
i moved to nashville
when my friends left for school
most folks in my hometown
said i was a fool
cause i can never make it here
if my dad never did
guess there is a part of me
that still agrees with them
cause i can hold a guitar
but i’ll never play the lead
the only way i’m gonna entertain
is in these words i sing
i could be famous
but i’ll never wish to be
i just wanna be an ode
in the old man’s symphony
i could be famous
but i’ll never wish to be
i just long be an ode
in the old man’s symphony
