So the point of it is, is this.
You write a song, you play it the way you play it.
Somebody likes it, they put it out, it's an honor.
You know?
And however they want to do it is fine.
A good [C#] song can be played as an instrumental.
It can be played as a waltz, a polka, a shuffle, a blues, or whatever.
You can do it as in the words of Levon Helm,
the great thing about music is it don't care what you do to it.
You know, a good song is a good song is a good song.

Well, stranger things have happened, but not by much.
I had a hit record this year.
Not me personally.
Me and Al Anderson and Sharon Vaughn wrote a song called Trip Around the Sun.
[Em]
And this is the way, this is the way, you know, Al plays it and it sounds like a hit,
but this is the way I play it.
It's the way it came to me.

Every day's [Em] a revolution
[D] [A] Put them [C] together and it comes undone
[B] One [E] more candle [C] and a trip [G] around the sun
[Bm] They say you never see it coming

Every [Em] day's a revelation
[E] Celebrating [C] what I should have done
I [B] got one [Em] more candle [C] and a trip [G] around the sun
[C] I keep hanging on while this old [G] world keeps spinning
And [E] it's good to know [D] it's out of my [C] control
