lyrics

I’ve had four years in the game now but things have changed,
I’m doing more, learning that nothing stays the same.
I used to take any gig that I could get, playing to the bar staff, for no respect.
It’s gotta be done if you’re on this flight, you gotta play to people who don’t treat you right.
Have to play unpaid at times, it’s how it goes,
In the long run, it’s how you get to know.

The ins and outs, on how to live your life on the road,
How to drench your fear in the cold,
And still survive, layer up on your thickened skin,
You’ll be needing that if you’re ever going to win.

I won the talent show 2010, playing “One Day” I thought I was king.
Told I was great by my school friends, until they lost touch when I began,
To tour the UK with my guitar, have a real go, try to get real far.
Start to make some fans, sell a few CD’s, one or two venues got back to me.
But I wasn’t fooled; I know there’s miles to go.
Moments to enjoy, things I need to know.
The good and the bad, the dark and dark,
The facts that don’t need a question mark, to learn

The ins and outs, on how to live your life on the road,
How to drench your fear in the cold,
And still survive, layer up on your thick skin,
You’ll be needing that if you’re ever going to win.

Don’t try to fake it, pretend you believe it
Break or mistreat it (x2)

I WANNA KNOW
The ins and outs, on how to live your life on the road,
How to drench your fear in the cold,
And still survive, layer up on your thick skin,
You’ll be needing that if you’re ever going to win
