I Can Hear Him Playin'

He walks downtown Staring at the pavement He's got something he needs to say But he don't know just how to say it He say's it's not that I can't get words to flow There's a message like a letter My fingers write with every note These aren't words you put on paper It's a scripture deep inside my soul That I pull out with Rock n Roll No one gets what he is sayin' They just hear complaining Through his shitty old guitar Oh Man, But I can hear him playin' I know just what he's sayin' He'll never stop believing Somewhere his names written on a star
