Tuning My Guitar Lyrics

Tuning My Guitar lyrics

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, "Get out and sell them" 
But selling's not my aim

I'm gonna sing the life I'm living 
And try to ease the pain 

Of
all the ones around me 
No matter who you are 
Tonight you're gonna hold
the curtain 
I'm tuning my guitar

And all the ones around me 
I
wonder who you are 
You hide behind my curtain 
And they hope I'll be a
star 
But all the ones around me 
Who don't know who you are 
You hide
and you look uncertain 
But you hope I'll be a star 

And all the ones,
all around me
I don't care who you are
Tonight you're gonna hold the
curtain
I'm tuning my guitar

All the ones, all the ones
All the
ones around me
And I don't care who you are
Tonight you're gonna hold the
curtain
I'm tuning my guitar

Oh all the ones
Who do you think that
you are
Tonight you're gonna hold the curtain
I'm tuning my
guitar

I'd like you to sing with me on this song because it... this
is
gonna be on an "Alive at Margie's birthday party" album, and if
you
don't sing, nobody will believe that anybody was there.
