lyrics
If I die now
At least there’s a guitar in my hands
Though I never made the big time
And I broke up the band
And all of my songs are derivative and bland
At least I’ll be going out singing
If I die now
At least I have holes in my shoes
Though I never won the heart
Of a lover with my moves
And I never quite managed to get in the groove
At least I’ll be going out dancing
People like me aren’t destined to be the contenders
It’s all too tough for someone so timid and tender
When you ask what good it’s for
When we’ll never win the war
I’ll negotiate the terms of my surrender
If I die now
At least I’ve a story to tell
Though it starts sad and slow
And it doesn’t end well
The part of the hunchback just might ring a bell
But at least I’ll be going out swinging
If I die now
At least I’ve left tracks in the sand
That they’ll say of me
There was a rambling man
Though I never did cover too much of this land
At least I tried to keep moving
People like me aren’t destined to be the contenders
It’s all too real for such a persistent pretender
When you ask what good it’s for
When we’ll never win the war
I’ll negotiate the terms of my surrender
