6 Strings - Mike Dignam

I played a beaten up guitar,

Never thought 6 strings would get me this far,

I sing for pocket change on streets,

Never thought that 30p would land me on my feet

But I’m not gonna quit now,

I know more than they doubt,

Never let the stage find another me

I was built on good ground

I’ve seen people brought down

by evil in the city

If I did it for the money I’d have sold out

I’ve been at this too long

To give up at the start

Written too many songs

To crash and burn it up

If the …

I live for wild nights and peace

The sound of speakers when they’re speaking back to me

I don’t wanna stare me in the face one day

Knowing I’d like to change the meaning of my name

I’m not gonna build now,

I’m right into the pins now,

Never want the page that’s in front of me

I was taught to love loud

I simply … run down by dealing with the city

If I did it for the money I’d have sold out

I’ve been at this too long

To give up at the start

Written too many songs

To crash and burn it up

If the …

I can’t afford to get this wrong there’s nothing I can fall back on

I can’t afford to get this wrong there’s nothing I can fall back on

I can’t afford to get this wrong there’s nothing I can fall back on

I can’t afford to get this wrong there’s nothing in this world I want

I’ve been at this too long

To give up at the start

Written too many songs

To crash and burn it up

If the …

They know nothing about me

This all came from the street

So I’ve already made it

I’ve already made it

I’ve already made it

Oh, this fire
