about

Story of a road musician, questioning whether the long haul is worth it. In the end, it's a triumph over adversity and never giving up. Inspired by John Mayer with an Allman Brothers lead guitar feel, this song features male vocal, plus a smooth groove that mesmerizes into an extended, tasteful guitar fade with a sing-along chorus that repeats throughout.

lyrics

Waiting for the curtains to open, let me be your music man tonight.
Trying so hard to be popular, let me be your music man tonight.
Superstars are just like magic - now you see them, now you don't
I keep telling myself that I'll give up but sure as hell I won't.

'Cause I'm a music man, a one-night stand.
Let me be your music man tonight.
None of you know me as I really am, only as your music man tonight.
The road can feel so tragic, surrounded but you're all alone.
I keep telling myself -- I'll give up but sure as hell I won't.

Superstars are just like magic - Now you see them, now you don't!
I keep telling myself -- I'll give up but sure as hell I won't.
Ohhho. Ohhho. Let me be your music man tonight.
Ohhho. Ohhho. Let me be your music man tonight.
Ohhho. Ohhho. Let me be your music man tonight.
Ohhho. Ohhho. Let me be your music man tonight.
Ohhho. Ohhho. Let me be your music man tonight.
