Lyrics:Number Three

There's only two songs in me and I just wrote the third Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave For the two songs in me and the third one I just made

A rich man once told me, "Hey, life's a funny thing" A poor man once told me that he can't afford to speak Now I'm in the middle like a bird without a beak

'Cause there's just two songs in me and I just wrote the third Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave For the two songs in me and the third one I just made

So I went to the President, and I asked old what's-his-name Has he ever gotten writer's block, or something like the same? He just started talking like he was on TV: "If there's just two songs in ya, boy, whaddaya want from me?"

So I bought myself some denim pants and a silver guitar But I politely told the ladies, "You'll still have to call me Sir Because I have to keep my self-respect. I'll never be a star Since there's just two songs in me, and this is Number Three"
