Dave Hensman Play This Thing lyrics

I was just thirteen my father came home
From a road of a thousand dreams
Gave me this guitar said you can take it far
But boy you better listen to me
Life’s a highway of decisions
Make them wise and make them true
When your song comes you’re gonna know it
They’ve got a way of finding you

You can play this thing for money
You can play this thing for love
You can play this thing for fame and glory
You can play it for God above
You can play it for the blonde one
Or the woman dressed in black

But the song you choose to sing tonight
Can be a long lonely road back

Roads been good sometimes long, son
But I kept playing, playing on
Sometimes for thousands sometimes for three
Sometimes for some sometimes for me
What I know is what I learned
Way past the point of no return
Don’t play for the man in the black Rolls Royce
When the ride is over he’ll steal your *****
