One Man Band Songtext
von Jack Savoretti

I gotta get my stuff together
I′m heading out
I gotta do the things that I've been speaking ′bout
I gotta show the world the difference between right and wrong
I gotta make myself a living writing songs
I'm just a lonely singer on a lonely road
This is the only life that I chose
I give it more
So much more than what I've got
Eveything you think I am
I am not
′Cause I′m just a one man traveling band*
Writing down poems on the back of my hand
I'm hoping you will understand me
I′ve come a long way
I've given up the cocaine
Looking for a chance to play a couple songs that I wrote along the way
I never thought that I would ever learn guitar
That I′d be the man on stage
Never thought that I would get to see the world


Love and miss the band everyday
But iI headed out to California for margaritas by the pool
At the house of a good old friend of mine I knew wen back in school
Just a box of wood
Six strings
This guitar
I've played in bedrooms and still play in bars
On city streets with pennies at my feet
And you know I′ll play for money
I will play for free
'Cause I'm just a one man traveling band
Writing down poems on the back of my hand
I′m hoping you will understand me
I′ve come a long way
I've given up the cocaine
Looking for a chance to play a couple songs that I wrote along the way
I never thought that I would ever learn guitar
That I′d be the man on stage
Never thought that I would get to see the world
Love and miss the band everyday
But I headed out to California for margaritas by the pool
At the house of a good old friend of mine I knew when back in school
