Track 2 - My Story Lyrics

I can't sing well - but I can play
My guitar and keyboards - have been with me all the way
Half through with my life - got a few things to say
I don't think you will listen to my ramblings anyway
But here's my story, here's my story
This is me

Don't fit into no drawer - have lived around the globe
I can take a punch or two - but also play a note
Spent most my days in offices and board rooms until late
Don't believe in hierarchies - believe in Jazz instead
This is my story, here's my story
This is me

Can't do all you want in life - made choices with my heart
But didn't dare to follow - the way of the guitar
I chased my dream to China - found love and family
Got friends across all continents I rarely get to see
This is my story, here's my story
This is me

I hope when I retire you'll never hear me sing
A drunken Frankie's my way - that's just not my thing
I would have failed my calling - wasted all my time
Chasing after money - nothing to leave behind
This is my story, here's my story
This is me

One day I'll have to leave from here - don't be sad for me
I've lived a life of happiness fulfilled as it can be
I was blessed to venture far beyond what others get to see
So help me celebrate and move on gratefully
To end my story, here's my story
This is me
