Tunesmith - Johnny Rivers

Married to the road, there’s no other way to say it

Baby found out quite early in the game

That I belong to my songs, so she chose not to play it

Now I walk down the street and I hear them call my name

Tunesmith, tunesmith, sing me a song

Give me your laughter, give me your tears

Tunesmith, tunesmith, sing me a song

But who sings a song for the tunesmith?

Who sings a song for the tunesmith?

She could have changed my mind if anyone could do it

That’s why I know I’ll always be this way

And now that I’ve got fame, I find there’s nothing to it

I remember how I left her when I hear the people say

Tunesmith, tunesmith, sing me a song

Give me your laughter, give me your tears

Tunesmith, tunesmith, sing me a song

But who sings a song for the tunesmith?

Who sings a song for the tunesmith?

This hotel room is all I own

Now that all my friends are gone

All alone at the break of day

I still can hear them say

(Tunesmith, tunesmith, sing me a song)

Give me your laughter, give me your tears

(Tunesmith, tunesmith, sing me a song)

But who sings a song for the tunesmith?

Tell me who sings a song for the tunesmith?

Tunesmith, tunesmith, sing me a song

Give me your laughter, give me your tears

Tunesmith, tunesmith, sing me a song

But who sings a song for the tunesmith?

Yeah, who sings a song for the tunesmith?
