Music Man Lyrics

Strike up the band

Set out on your quest

Over the land now

Across the US

Such a brilliant glow

With applause for your show

Dine on divine O

Celebrate the time

With beer whiskey and wine

Then like a gun

As sudden as death

The joy the fun gone

In a short breath

Shot holes in your song

Where the muse belonged

No stage for your mind

Just rage to unwind

With beer whiskey and wine

But O you were the Music Man

But a man nevertheless

O you were the Music Man

Why did ya go to rest

Why did ya go to rest

So the band was done

With family too far

Many lives were spun

In the dimming of the star

But you gave it all up

Unlike your full cup

Even love couldn't shine

'Cause you were blind

With beer whiskey and wine

But O you were the Music Man

But a man nevertheless

O you were the Music Man

Why did ya go to rest

I get you now I confess

I forgive ya now I confess

I'm a lot like you I confess
