Lyrics
Playing My Guitar
(B. Richey)
Every morning, it’s hard not to be sad
The world has caught on fire
And the news is always bad
On a planet, where hate becomes the norm
I reach for a distraction
Seeking shelter from the storm
It makes you want to scream
I’ll dream another dream
Oh I need a change of scenery
I’ll be flying on a rocket to a star
You can keep all your reality
And I’ll just keep on playing my guitar
Every morning, I wake up ill-equipped
I can’t be an actor, oh and this is not my script
My days are numbered
And this might be my last
So I’ll just stay here nestled in the
Bosom of the past
The only place I know, the only place to go
(Chorus)
(Solo)
Playing my guitar, playing my guitar
Playing my guitar
(Chorus)
Every night I’m on the silver strings
Make a wish upon a shooting star
It doesn’t matter what tomorrow brings
Oh I’ll just keep playing my guitar
Oh I’ll just keep playing my guitar
