I LEAVE A BEAUTIFUL GIRL WITH A TEAR ON HER FACE AS I RACE TO A THREE WEEK STAND
AND I KNOW SHE'S GOTTA BE WONDERING WHY SHE'S IN LOVE WITH A HIGHWAY MAN
OH BUT I'M ADDICTED TO THE STAGE, THE CROWD, THE FEEL
IT'S THE ONLY THING I DO THAT MAKES THIS MUSIC REAL
CHORUS:
SO I JUMP ON THE BUS WITH THE BOYS IN THE BAND
WE'LL FLY IF WE CAN'T GET THERE BY LAND
CUZ WHEN YOU BRING ME YOU I'M WHO I WAS BORN TO BE
I PAY THE BILLS WITH THE TILL BUT THAT AIN'T THE DEAL FOR ME
I'M ON THE ROAD FOR THE MONEY BUT I SING FOR FREE
I SING FOR FREE
IT'S A LONG WAY NOW FROM THE CLUBS AND THE BARS AND A TIP JAR CASH IN HAND AND I CAN'T COUNT THE NIGHTS THAT I CHOKED ON
SMOKE JUST TO LOAD UP THE BACK OF THE VAN
SO WHEN I HEAR YOU SING MY SONGS ITS WORTH MORE THAN ANY GOLD AND I'M RIGHT WHERE I BELONG I CAN FEEL IT IN MY SOUL
CHORUS:
SO I JUMP ON THE BUS WITH THE BOYS IN THE BAND
WE'LL FLY IF WE CAN'T GET THERE BY LAND
CUZ WHEN YOU BRING ME YOU I'M WHO I WAS BORN TO BE
I PAY THE BILLS WITH THE TILL BUT THAT AIN'T THE DEAL FOR ME
I'M ON THE ROAD FOR THE MONEY BUT I SING FOR FREE
I SING FOR FREE
I SING
OH I'M ADDICTED TO THE STAGE, THE CROWD, THE FEEL
IT'S THE ONLY THING I DO THAT MAKES THIS MUSIC REAL
CHORUS:
SO I JUMP ON THE BUS WITH THE BOYS IN THE BAND
WE'LL FLY IF WE CAN'T GET THERE BY LAND
CUZ WHEN YOU BRING ME YOU I'M WHO I WAS BORN TO BE
I PAY THE BILLS WITH THE TILL BUT THAT AIN'T THE DEAL FOR ME
I'M ON THE ROAD FOR THE MONEY BUT I SING FOR FREE
I SING FOR FREE
