lyrics

Never worked a day in my life.
It's what some people might say.
I think about all those sleepless nights
When I walk off the stage.
My hands are blistered and torn
from all the songs that I've played.
I piece together a living
from the tips I've been paid.

Do what you love,
and you'll always be free.
Let me ask you a question,
And don't you dare lie to me.
Do you still think that I'm living out my dream?

I won't make enough money
to afford good health care.
When my knuckles start to swell
and I lose all my hair.
I spend my days by the phone
waiting for someone to call.
For someone just to give me my chance
just to sing my songs.

Do what you love,
and you'll always be free.
Let me ask you a question,
And don't you dare lie to me.
Do you still think that I'm living out my dream?
