You All Know Me

-Stimson; K. Temple

INST. INTRO (4 bars)

You all know me.
I was born in an alley
By the banks of a river,
But I don't know where
I have been.
You all know me
'Cos I left very early --
Headed out for Californee --
But I don't know if
I'll be back again.

You all see me.
Standin' with a guitar
Playin' here before ya,
But I don't know what
I am sayin'.
You all hear me
Am I cryin' 'cos I'm lonely
Or just to be cryin'?
And I know for sure
I should be prayin'.

: 'Cos I was the one
Who left home when I was ten.
Been on the road since then,
And I've never had a friend.

You all love me.
I've been singin' here for four years,
And you never throw tomatoes,
But I don't know if
You'd throw beans.
You all like me
Oh, I sing about my problems,
Like my girl up and left me,
But I know things aren't
Just what it seems.

: 'Cos I was the one
Who left home when I was ten.
Been on the road since then,
And I've never had a friend.

You all know me.
I'm not praisin' Harry Kirshner,
But I don't knock him either,
But I don't see where
He stands as such.
You all know me
I don't love all the people,
But I don't hate them either,
'Cos I can see why
Love means so much

: 'Cos I was the one
Who left home when I was ten.
Been on the road since then,
And I've never had a friend.

And I sure could use a friend.
