So, I guess that I'm ending
Much sooner than I thought
'Cause so few are spending
Any money on my songs

Oh, I don't have time for business
'Cause I'm busy writing tunes
Oh, I hope another song will see me through

Yeah, I sense that it's over
Oh, much sooner than we guessed
But every minute I did it
Well, those minutes were the best

Oh, I don't have time for money
'Cause I'm busy writing tunes
Oh, I hope another song will see me through

I spend most my days writing songs
I don't know where all the money's gone
And I realize there's nothing I can do
'Cause I just ain't a business man
I just write songs as best I can
And if I die, before I wake, I pray
I wrote a song today
La la la la
A new song today
La la la la
Oh, I pray
La la la la
I wrote a song today
I'm just one disaster
From throwing in the towel
But there's nothing I'm after
I wouldn't get it anyhow
The only thing in life that I
Ever want for me
Is time enough to write a melody

And so I thank you, all of you
Who are still here
For paying attention all throughout these many years
Sure times were tough
They´re always hard
I've finally learned that's true
But I wouldn't trade with you

I spend most my days writing songs
I don't know where all the money's gone
And I realize there's nothing I can do
'Cause I just ain't a business man
I just write songs as best I can
And if I die, before I wake, I pray
I wrote a song today
La la la la
A new song today
La la la la
Oh, I pray
La la la la
I wrote a song today
