Hard Working Americans
The High Price of Inspiration
[Spoken Intro: Guy Clark]
"I might like to play with him without the click on, and that way I'd be playing with a real person...wonder how that would work?
OK, one, two...ah, one, two, three, four..."

[Verse 1: Todd Snider]
That mirror’s stained with dirty looks
At least it never lies
Muses calling down the hall
Come on let’s get high

The high price of inspiration
Always leaves me broken
I keep coming back for more
Still I take no caution

[Chorus]
Inspiration with some wings
Is what I’m looking for
Inspiration with no strings
I’d like that even more

[Verse 2]
Fly me to some higher place
Land me safe and sound
Don't you worry I’ll be back
If I ever do come down
I’m pretty sure I’ll make it if
I just get through today
Before I see tomorrow
There is always hell to pay

[Chorus]
Inspiration with some wings
Is what I’m looking for
Inspiration with no strings
I’d like that even more

Inspiration with some wings
Is what I’m looking for
Inspiration with no strings
I’d like that even more

[Coda]
Well, I would like that even more
I’d like that even more
