Blues For The Common Man Lyrics

Five o'clock in the morning I'm standing out in the rain
They don't give me no warning, police rouse me again
Now I'm a common man, makin' out the best I can
Well I feel shook down from my head to my toes
With a girl on my arm and a spoon in my nose
This time around tell ya anything goes, oh yeah

I got the blues for the common man
I'm just a common man, and I be singing the blues for the common man
Yeah I'm singing the blues for the common man

I got no reason to hurry, I take my time on the run
I can't forget not to worry, can't let you see me undone
I'm just a common man, looking at a one night stand
I don't get down with your nine to five
Don't tell me I ain't takin no jive
Next time around gonna skin me alive, oh yeah

I'll be searchin' for daylight, but there's none to be found
I'm burning my night light when there's noone aroundBilly Squier - Blues For The Common Man - http://motolyrics.com/billy-squier/blues-for-the-common-man-lyrics.html
I'd like to love you, but your game's too rough
Can't do without you, I just can't get enough

I got my villa de capri, I got my minks and my cars
I've got you thinking about me, you've got your head in the stars
You love your common man
You're the last one to know, I couldn't make you understand
When you got everything that your money can buy
And there ain't one thing you ain't already tried
But you're goin' 'round again just to know you're alive, oh yeah

The things that you want, the things that I got
The things that you want, they don't mean a lot
I know what I want, I see what you got
I know what I want, and I like it a lot

I like it

I'm just a common man, just a common man
