songwriter's blues (duet for piano and janitor) - martin mull lyrics
i gotta be stoned enough to write it
i gotta stay straight enough to play
i gotta be drunk enough to sing
and still have sober things to say
i got to be hip enough to be heavy
i got to be dumb enough to clown
i gotta be up enough to bring it up sometimes
and down enough to bring it down
lord, it used to be so easy just to write a simple song
now the only thing that’s easy, is it’s so easy to go wrong
i got those old songwriter blues
from my songwritin’ head down to my songwritin’ shoes
i’m just gettin’ by on cigarettes and booze
i just can’t lose those old songwritin’ blues
i got to be managed, bookеd, and published
and still pretend i got somе soul
when the ladies, they all want waltzes
and the kids, they need that rock and roll
i gotta be nuts to try to please ‘em
guess i am just a little bit
but i’m stuck on rhymin’ for the simple reason
i just might get a hit
oh, it used to be so easy just to write that simple song
now the only thing that’s easy, is it’s seems easy to go wrong
i got those old songwriter blues
from my songwritin’ head down to my songwritin’ shoes
i’m just gettin’ by on cigarettes and booze
just can’t lose those old songwritin’ blues
