Lyric Blues For The Common Man

Five o clock in the morning I m standing out in the rain
They don t give me no warning, police rouse me again
Now I m a common man, makin out the best I can
Well I feel shook down from my head to my toes
With a girl on my arm and a spoon in my nose
This time around tell ya anything goes, oh yeah

I got the blues for the common man
I m just a common man, and I be singing the blues for the common man
Yeah I m singing the blues for the common man

I got no reason to hurry, I take my time on the run
I can t forget not to worry, can t let you see me undone
I m just a common man, looking at a one night stand
I don t get down with your nine to five
Don t tell me I ain t takin no jive
Next time around gonna skin me alive, oh yeah

I ll be searchin for daylight, but there s none to be found
I m burning my night light when there s noone around
I d like to love you, but your game s too rough
Can t do without you, I just can t get enough

I got my villa de capri, I got my minks and my cars
I ve got you thinking about me, you ve got your head in the stars
You love your common man
You re the last one to know, I couldn t make you understand
When you got everything that your money can buy
And there ain t one thing you ain t already tried
But you re goin round again just to know you re alive, oh yeah

The things that you want, the things that I got
The things that you want, they don t mean a lot
I know what I want, I see what you got
I know what I want, and I like it a lot

I like it

I m just a common man, just a common man
