5 STRING MAN

5 String Man
(Nick Cody)

Homemade blues kept you up all night
Mandy’s touch meant you sleep just right
Exiled out on the main line
Rush without traffic made you feel just fine

The grim reapers got no plans for you,
Rocking this world since 1962,
The older folks couldn’t understand,
Why all the kids went crazy for the five string man

CHORUS

When not on stage, you'd rather be flying,
You know which lines this side of dying…
When not on stage, you'd rather be flying
You know which lines, this side of dying…

Just reached 70, guitar in hand,
The beating heart of this 5 piece band
You got Muddy Waters, on the brain,
All the girls know that, your Love’s in vain,

Gram, Mick, Les and BB too,
Those cats loved to play with you,
Jamming along with this human riff
Your satisfaction is his to give

CHORUS

When not on stage, you'd rather be flying,
You know which lines this side of dying…
When not on stage, you'd rather be flying,
You know which lines, this side of dying…

INSTRUMENTAL

Your life's in paper for all to read
Your life's in paper for all to read
Your life's in paper for all to read
Your life's in paper for all to read
