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



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

Whaddya 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
