How come you ask me what I'm doing here

With my guitar in hand

I'm at the microphone stand

I think the reason should be very clear

You see the spotlight it's for a good night

Something happens to you

And the same thing happens to me

So if I sing about the places that you've been to

You can see them once again through me

But it's only me

So if you catch me handing you a line

Please forgive me, oh but let me be

I've got to do it almost all the time

It fills a big hole in my young soul

Something happens to you, yeah, yeah

You see, the same thing happens to me

So if I sing about the places that you've been to

You can see them once again through me

But it's only me, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
