Joe Hagerty - Original Song (Part I)

I'm in the bar where the usuals play
Where the careless drunks all drink the same
And though some crack open a beer
And some celebrate with champagne
They're all in pain
And I'm writing an original song
And I'm waiting for the lights to come on
But when they do
Nobody is there to listen
To my original song
Hey, even the bartender says
That it'll never go on
For there's already sound
In this upstate town
And no need for original songs
And the world rotation would stop
In the name of that modern-day pop
But I still say there's nothing wrong
With an original song
I finish my drink when the cover band plays
That one with the usual name
But when the drummer stops
I take my Strat to the stage
And then I play
And I sing listen you fool
It's my own parade
Yes I've listened to the usual tunes
And I've heard all the greats
But nobody's learning the blues
The good have all died in their youth
Amidst these blackened waves
The original songs have gone without leaving a trace
Yes the day came, the music died
But I'll keep living with these tunes of mine
For I still say there's nothing wrong with an original
An original tune
My original verse
My original words
My original
