Tonight I feel as empty as the hole in this guitar
The songs I'm singing seem so out of tune
But the people paid good money so I gotta play the star and do the only thing i know how to do
Keep on singin
Keep on smilin
Try to make the people dance and drink a while then maybe they won't know i'm feelin so alone
Hidin behind this microphone
I wouldn't change one minute about the life i get to live
Heaven knows that I'm one lucky man
But this damn dream just keeps on takin more than i give
And often times I wonder
Who I really am
But I keep on singin
Keep on smilin
Try to make the people dance and drink a while
Then maybe they won't know i'm feelin so alone
Hidin behind this microphone
I'll take the picture
I'll shake the hand
I know the music's gonna heal me so I'll hold on until then (and)
Keep on singin
Keep on smilin
Try to make the people dance and drink a while
Then maybe they won't know I'm feelin so alone
Hidin behind this microphone
Oh it's hell on me feelin so alone
Hidin behind this microphone
Yeah it's hell on me feelin so alone
Hidin behind this microphone
Yeah up here hidin behind this microphone"
