Sing Your Own Song Lyrics

I was a beatnik

But you had a paycheck

Sometimes you gotta be your own soul

You wanted Billie and Harry

I wanted Carole and Gerry

Sometimes you gotta have a little more soul

'Cause sometimes the grass ain't greener

And sometimes people get meaner

Sometimes you gotta sing your own song

They love to tell you to lose it

But Mama Cass said make your own kind of music

Sometimes you gotta sing your own dang song

I had an ear

You had your career

Somehow you always got creative control

Y'all sang your Lennon Stella

But John Lennon baby, he's my fella

And sometimes you just gotta lost control, yeah

And sometimes the grass ain't greener

And sometimes people get meaner

Sometimes you gotta sing your own song

They love to tell you to lose it

But Mama Cass said make your own kind of music

Sometimes you gotta sing your own dang song

They got their own way of tricking

Nitpicking my picking

But sometimes you just gotta leave it alone, yeah

Gone from Nashville to Fort Worth

Just looking for my worth

But it don't matter where I find it just as long as I'm alone

'Cause sometimes the grass ain't greener

And sometimes people get meaner

Sometimes you gotta sing your own song

They love to tell you to lose it

But Mama Cass said make your own kind of music

Sometimes you gotta sing your own

Sometimes even when you're alone

Sometimes you gotta sing your own dang song

Woah, woah, woah
