Tim Angsten - All I've Ever Known Lyrics

You see this old guitar my daddy gave to me
I started playing in bars when I was just thirteen
Everywhere I've gone, music's been right there, it's helped me
Get the girl, pay the rent and make a hell of a lot of friends
So if you wanna ask me why I chose this living

It's something about a loud guitar that sets my heart on fire
Something about every line I sing that echoes in my mind
I do believe that melody is wrapped around my soul
Cause a guitar and a microphone is all I've ever known
A guitar and a microphone is all I've ever known

I've never had a bank account keep my money in an old tin can
Traded coffee and cream honey for cheap beer and cigarettes
I gave up that alarm clock for a bass drum beating low
The only boss I've ever had was the spirit of rock n' roll
So if you wanna ask me why I chose this living

There's something about a loud guitar that sets my heart on fire
Something about every line I sing that echoes in my mind
I do believe that melody is wrapped around my soul
Cause a guitar and a microphone is all I've ever known
Yeah a guitar and a microphone is all I've ever known

I could get a real job with a desk in a big ole' city
But if you wanna ask me why I chose this living

There's something about a loud guitar that sets my heart on fire
Something about every line I sing that echoes in my mind
I do believe that melody is wrapped around my soul
Cause a guitar and a microphone is all I've ever known
Yeah a guitar and a microphone is all I've ever known
A guitar and a microphone is all I've ever known
