Always Lyrics

Chalk on the board and lyrics in my head Guitar chords from The Grateful Dead Closing my eyes and seeing the stage Letting go of all my rage Singing into the microphone And suddenly I?m not feeling alone Singing my heart out Keeping the beat Humming the melody Tapping my feet Emotions bursting I?m outta my seat Mind of fast-forward, Words on repeat Papers to be filed are still on my desk I?m looking so organized my head?s a mess The words I hear in my head just won?t fade away They steal my concentration for the third time today And I let go of reality and I?m playing with my band Shaking the stadium and rocking the stand Singing my heart out Keeping the beat Humming the melody Tapping my feet Emotions bursting I?m outta my seat Mind of fast-forward, Words on repeat Sarah?s tugging at my feet "Mommy I?m so bored!" But I don?t hear her voice because I?m playing a new chord Lips pursed, eyes shut tight, volume turned on low Mentally singing the lyrics from 6 years ago And snapping back to my little girl I can?t believe I lost my dreams Life never stopped for my music or at all is how it all seems Singing my heart out Keeping the beat Humming the melody Tapping my feet Emotions bursting I?m outta my seat Mind of fast-forward, Words on repeat Paying the last of the bills on Tony?s student loans But keeping the rhythm of the Rolling Stones I can?t believe I?ve gotten so old and I never got to sing Never got to sit up stage and play on my six-string But I guess I lived through the music in my head And long live music until well after I?m dead Singing my heart out Keeping the beat Humming the melody Tapping my feet Emotions bursting I?m outta my seat Mind of fast-forward, Words on repeat Singing my heart out Keeping the beat Humming the melody Tapping my feet Emotions bursting I?m outta my seat Mind of fast-forward, Words on repeat Oh yeah, words always on repeat Words always on repeat
