Lyrics:
You don’t have to win
You don’t have to play
You don’t have to believe the ones that tell you that it’s a game
It’s a daily choice
That you choose to make
If you’re waiting on someone to love you
You don’t have to wait
When I was young
I played the bass
I joined up with a band
Recorded some jams
And destroyed the tapes
We said what’s the use
No attention’s paid
To my wife my son my grandkid
Don’t make the same mistake that I did
If no one hears
That don’t mean a song shouldn’t be sung
Oh for Forty Years
The same songs have been stuck on the tip of my tongue
And I sing them now
While I’m digging graves
You should see the machine that the
Graveyard gave me
I call it the candy crane
We walk past funerals
On my lunch break
To my grandson working the snow cone stand
Swear to me now, raise up your right hand that if
If no one hears
that don’t mean a song shouldn’t be sung
And if no one cares
That only means you can sing out whatever you want
And if ever you get where you can’t hear your thoughts
Well now, scream to yourself at the top of your lungs
You don’t have to win
You don’t have to play
You don’t have to believe the ones who tell you that it’s a game
And you don’t need an audience
To be kind and brave
And if you’re waiting on someone to love you
Don’t go waiting on someone to love you
