Number Three

            There's only two songs in me and I just wrote the third
            Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words
            Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave
            For the two songs in me and the third one I just made

            A rich man once told me, "Hey, life's a funny thing"
            A poor man once told me that he can't afford to speak
            Now I'm in the middle like a bird without a beak

            'Cause there's just two songs in me and I just wrote the third
            Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words
            Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave
            For the two songs in me and the third one I just made

            So I went to the President, and I asked old what's-his-name
            Has he ever gotten writer's block, or something like the same?
            He just started talking like he was on TV:
            "If there's just two songs in ya, boy, whaddaya want from me?"

            So I bought myself some denim pants and a silver guitar
            But I politely told the ladies, "You'll still have to call me Sir
            Because I have to keep my self-respect. I'll never be a star
            Since there's just two songs in me, and this is Number Three"
