You Don't Know Me That Well"

This is the song I recorded tracks for yesterday. Not too sure what I think about it just yet. I got a couple of good takes, though, and there's room for a different vocal part than what I laid down. That means I can work with the words a little bit. I may do that, or maybe not. Oh, and the "goddamn thing" part is just how I originally wrote it. That's the way I like it, but obviously I'll have to tone it down a bit before putting it up on the Internet.

"You Don't Know Me That Well"

I'm standing on a stage in some old smoke filled bar
A thousand songs to sing and play on this old guitar
And if you find yourself in even one
I'll leave this place tonight and know my job's been done.
But...

You don't know me that well
You don't know me even well enough to tell
That I'm giving you my heart and soul
The things that last and don't grow old
Did you think these dreams were all for sale?
You don't know me that well

You don't know a goddamn thing
You don't know a goddamn thing
You don't know anything at all

Now I'm playing for a crowd of twenty-two
And it seems like all of them have something else to do
You ask me how I keep on keeping on
You tell me I'm too old, I must have sang my final song
But...

You don't know me that well
You don't know me even well enough to tell
That I'm giving you my heart and soul
The things that last and don't grow old
Did you think these dreams were all for sale?
You don't know me that well

You don't know a goddamn thing
You don't know a goddamn thing
You don't know anything at all
