lyrics

I've seen the circus man entertain the best he can
But clowns are creepy and a bit weird (bring the beat back)
I've seen the acrobats juggle fire and tame big cats
But that strikes me as a strange thing to want to be good at

I'd rather see a man in a bar
Playing songs that he wrote on a beat up old guitar
Don't care if sometimes he don't play it right
Four chords and the truth, and I'll have a good night

I've seen the football games, to me they're all the same
One team wins, one loses, and next year they'll just play each other again, and again, and again
I've seen films at the cinema, some good, some so bad I don't know what they are
I tell you one thing, every time I went, I was over charged

I'd rather see a girl in a bar
Playing songs that she wrote on a beat up old guitar
Don't care if sometimes she don't play it right
Four chords and the truth, and by she's alright, she's alright, alright.

I've seen too much TV, way more than what's good for me
I don't know why because all I ever see is repeats, of Top Gear, and Come Dine With Me
And after all I've seen, there's only one place I want to be
On stage with nothing but my guitar between you and me

I'd rather be that man in a bar
Playing songs that I wrote on my beat up old guitar
Hope you don't mind if sometimes I don't play it right
Four chords and the truth...shit, I think I just played five

But that's alright, that's alright, that's alright
