Lyrics:Alex Harvey Music:Alex Harvey | |
When I woke up this mornin' | |
I was tired as I could be | |
I think I was countin' my money | |
When I should a' been countin' sheep | |
My agent he just called me | |
And told me what I should be | |
If I would make my music for money | |
Instead of makin' music for me | |
Chorus: | |
I said, 'I know that this may sound funny | |
But money don't mean nothin' to me | |
I won't make my music for money | |
No, I'm gonna make my music for me' | |
He said, 'The people only buy the love songs | |
Rock n' Roll and not too long' | |
He said, 'Son you got to be commercial | |
If you want to turn the people on' | |
And I said, 'Turnin' on the people | |
Now that's a beautiful place to be | |
But if I spend my time makin' them up a rhyme | |
Well, who's gonna turn on me?' | |
Repeat Chorus: | |
Well now I went up to Country | |
And I'll tell you all about the scene | |
I found a place with much charm and much grace | |
That wasn't touched by the music machine | |
Whoa, the people were havin' a good time | |
Makin' music all day long | |
And nobody cared if they ever got paid | |
One penny for playin' a song | |
Repeat Chorus: | |
Repeat Chorus: | |
Whoa, I know... |
