"Tampa Bum Blues" Lyrics

you're standing in line for attention
that you're never gonna get
with all of the talent you have
you're never done much with it
all of your friends have been asking
if you're alive and where you've been;
or if you forgot all about them
while sleeping hard and staying in.

yeah! dont play around,
don't play it down,
if you've got something to say,
just say it!
if you've got something to say,
just say it!

all of the time that you spent on
planning out how you would quit...
and what you get out will depend on
exactly what you're putting in.
you're talking in circles now
(your reasoning is wearing thin)
how can you catch a free ride
if you never chase after it?

yeah! dont play around,
don't play it down,
if you've got something to say,
just say it!
if you've got something to say,
just say it!

yeah! dont play around,
don't play it down,
if you've got something to say,
just say it!
if you've got something to say,
just say it!

yeah! dont play around,
don't play it down,
if you've got something to say,
just say it!
if you've got something to say,
just say it!

yeah! dont play around,
don't play it down,
if you've got something to say,
just say it!
if you've got something to say,
just say it!

if you've got something to say.
