Lyrics
I'm thinking what I'm doing
I'm thinking what I've done
And I'm thinking about my mother
Who never thought I'd come
Quite this far from nowhere
To hear myself be sung
But I still haven't forgotten
I used to do it just for fun
When all the ones around me
Would wonder if they saw
Or heard me singing somewhere
Tuning my guitar
Knock once, I got ten minutes
And every night's the same
Sometimes I wish I wasn't in it
When I hear them call my name
The same people all around me
And I wonder who they are
I know they're not my family
And they're not my friends by far
They're all the ones around me
Who don't know who they are
They hide and they look uncertain
But they hope, hope I'll be a star
And all the ones around me
I don't care who you are
Tonight you're gonna have to hold the curtain
Because I'm tuning my guitar
All the ones, all the ones around me
Who do you think you are
Tonight you're gonna have to hold the curtain
Because I'm tuning my guitar
I'm tuning my guitar
And all the ones around me
I don't care who you are
Tonight you're gonna have to hold the curtain
Because I'm
And I'm thinking about my mother
Who never thought I'd come
Come quite this far from nowhere
To hear myself be sung
And I still haven't forgotten
And I'm still having fun
