Lyrics

How Can You Say you been tryin' to find it If you never even give it a try How Can You Say that you ain't gonna like it If you never even open an eye How Can You Say that it don't matter at all When you know that it ain't that way And if you leave it alone it ain't never gonna come And, brother, that would be a cryin' shame Well, I once knew a fella who would try to tell ya' He's got the world by the Handle But it sure seemed to me that the man didn't shine Quite enough to light the Candle Now, he'd swear up & down that he'd sure been around Though he couldn't remember the highways Well, it sure seemed to me - out of all I could see He was always only travelin' sideways CHORUS Well, I once knew a woman who was saddled with gloom And how she always seemed to end up defeated But, it was simple to trace as the lines in her face That she really had a need to be needed Though she tried to ignore it like the fella before It was workin' the way that she planned it No one could see the proverbial tree for the forest From where they where standing CHORUS Well, I once knew a man - a singer in a band And he was tired of singin' other folks tunes He was tired of the nights and the usual sights Playin' in these local saloons And, though he would say that he prayed for the day To be touched by that Magic Wand He would still plug along at the other folks songs A big fish in his own little pond CHORUS
