Sean Whiting - Payin' Dues Lyrics

Friday night and I've got another show
Gettin' hard just to make it past the door
Have a drink just to set my mood
Pretty tuff playing songs to an empty room

Guy at the bar is singing every song
I've yet to hear him out a note where it belongs
Girl in the corner screaming "play wagon wheel"
Trying hard not to tell her how I feel

Maybe I'm crazy
Hell I just don't know
They call it payin' dues
But tell me lord how much do I owe

Sing my songs and I make it through the night
Call it a win 'cause I didn't cuss or fight
Take my pay and I leave my self esteem
That's the life of a man chasing his dream

Well maybe I'm crazy
Say it ain't so
They call it payin' dues
But tell me please how much do I owe
How much do I owe
How much do I owe
Oh somebody tell me
How much do I owe
