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
