Lyrics
I Ain't No Van Gogh
Margie & Art Corey/BMI
Copyright 2017 (C)
1st Verse
Who's your targeted audience today
Why you singin' songs that don't pay
You're wasting all your precious time away...
2nd Verse
And no one cares what you're tryin' to say
With clever chords and crappy clichés
Oooo.........It's so sad............
It's sad............
Chorus
I hear those voices loud and clear
I ain't no Van Gogh, won't cut off my ear
Can't stop my playing, whatever they say
Till the Good Lord comes and takes me away......
Solo.....
3rd Verse
I could write about Big Trucks and Beer
I'm told that's......what they want to hear
I'm not writin' to please the crowd
I'm just sayin'......what I feel out loud
I may never make a dime..........
Chorus..........
Ending..........
You say I'm not.......gonna make a dime
You think I'm playin and wastin' my time....
Who you thinkin' you're foolin' anyway?
With clever chords and crappy clichés
Ooooooooooo...
Yeah....it's so sad................yeah it's sad
I may just play this song, one more time
Yeah for me....just for me............
