I Don’t Want to be in a Rock Band

Hard to bear
The burdens that I won't share
How do you know
If you're on the right road
You weren't clear
When it's in motion I can't steer
I hit the brakes
And laid in the gutter

I know I don't keep up with the cool kids
There's no room in your scene
I've got to keep telling myself
'I don't want to be in a rock band'
Yeah, I better check myself
Or I'll be moving just like my friends
I swear I get mixed up and I start to think
'That'd be me' and what was I thinking
And I tell myself 'I don't want to be in a rock band'
No man

I learned to write
Through Cash and Patsy Cline
They taught me to feel
And don't hold back from the truth if it keeps you alive
And now the sound
Is slowing drowning out my words on the page
The pain in my mouth

I know I don't fit in with the cool kids
That's not really my scene
I got to keep telling myself I don't want to be in a rock band
Yeah, I better check myself
Or I'll be moving just like my friends
I swear I get mixed up and I start to think
'That'd be me' and what was I thinking
And I tell myself 'I don't want to be in a rock band'
No man

I've got to tell myself
'I don't want to be in a rock band'
Did I forget myself?
You know I used to be in a pop band
Yeah I better check myself
Or I'll be moving just like my friends
I don't want to be in a rock band
No man
I don't want to be in a rock band
