lyrics

How you doing tonight folks?
Are you enjoying the show?
Soon as I’m done, folks
You’ll be free to go
And when you’re gone, I’ll still be here
With no solutions gained
My problems will still be with me
And you’ll be entertained

How you like my songs folks?
Every word is true
To tell you the truth, folks
The songs aren’t for you
I used to need an audience
To keep from feeling worse
Tonight I need this audience
For me to rehearse cause

It’s not important anymore
I don’t care about what you think
You’re not who I’m doing this for
Opinions are there for me to ignore
And when this show is through
There’s only one thing left to do
I’m gonna play these songs to my wife
Cause they’re meant for her not you

How do I sound folks?
Who do I remind you of?
You like Billy Joel, folks?
What’s not to love?
He writes songs about his life
Otherwise we’re not the same
Billy Joel is famous
And you’ll forget my name but

It’s not important anymore
I don’t care about what you think
You’re not who I’m doing this for
Opinions are there for me to ignore
And when this show is through
There’s only one thing left to do
I’m gonna play these songs to my wife
Cause they’re meant for her not you

Maybe nobody’s who I’m supposed to be
Go ahead New York, do whatever you want with me

Show’s almost done folks
Was it good for you?
Did you hate it all, folks?
Not much I can do
I’m gonna keep on writing songs
This who I am
And long as she believes in me
I really don’t give a damn cause

It’s not important anymore
Can’t wait to get off this stage
And walk through my front door
And play my wife songs she hasn’t heard before
So as soon as this show is through
There’s only one thing left to do
I finally know what’s important now
That’s her, not you
