lyrics

You got a great house on the country side
Few minutes walk to the sea.
A couple of horses and a black Porsche ride
why do you need me?

You see me standing on the stage
singing songs about my life.
Waving a beer to make my point
when I got something to say.

I know you blame the mirror
for the shadows and the tears.
But you were adding years to life
but no real life to years.

You say; Play me an old Chet Baker song
Play it just for me!
But I won´t
´cause I ain´t playing
someone else's song
for you

Your husband is working hard
bringing home his pay.
He wish he wasn´t to tired.
and he wish that you could stay.

But you take your shiny car
and you´re driving to this country bar.
You think your life ain´t fair
so you´re having an affair

You say; Play me an old Chet Baker song
Play it just for me!
But I won´t
´cause I ain´t playing
someone else's song
for you

Five hours in a car
An hour singing in this bar.
I couldn´t support you for a day
out of a month gigs pay.

I find myself here standing
between now and then.
With the same old question
all over again;

Where do I fit in?
