I'm thinking what I'm doing

I'm thinking what I've done

I'm thinking 'bout my mother

Who never thought I'd come

Quite this far from nowhere

To hear myself be sung

But I still haven't forgotten

I used to do it just for fun



When all the ones around me

Would wonder if they saw

Or heard me singing somewhere

Tuning my guitar



Knock once, I got ten minutes

And every night's the same

Sometimes I wish I wasn't in it

When I hear them call my name

Same people all around me

And I wonder who they are

I know they're not my family

And they're not my friends by far



They're all the ones around me

I wonder who they are

They hide behind my curtain

And they hope I'll be a star



An' they say,
