about

I'm not sure I completely understood the assignment, but this is a song about why I write songs. Wrapped in an enigma. Wrapped in bacon.

lyrics

v1:
Did you think that I was doing this out of love, out of guilt?
Because of all the things I felt when I was young, just a kid?
I'll tell you what the problem is, we're all scared to open up
We tell ourselves we're not enough, so many secrets that we keep hidden

ch:
I'm just trying to get what's on the inside out
Don't know what it's all about
But I wanna leave something behind
And I want to be remembered by my family, friends, and kids
No, not everything I did
But I'll leave some clues to find

v2:
We're just getting started on this thing that we call life
So far, a real good time, oh, the stories I could tell
I'd like to think that I'm good-hearted, so I'll hold a little back
You know I've tried to stay on track, so I keep telling myself

ch:
I'm just trying to get what's on the inside out
Don't know what it's all about
But I wanna leave something behind
And I want to be remembered by my family, friends, and kids
No, not everything I did
But I'll leave some clues to find

br:
Thank God there weren't cell phone cameras in '98
Although life was pretty great, I'd rather leave you with a song
And sure, I probably had some fun in '99
It never ended up online, so I'm allowed to carry on

v3:
Did you think that I was doing this for anyone else but you?
It's as close to the truth as you're gonna get
So I'll sing my songs until they're gone, then I'll sit back and relax
Nothing more than simple facts, it's the truth, so you can bet

ch:
I'm just trying to get what's on the inside out
Don't know what it's all about
But I wanna leave something behind
And I want to be remembered by my family, friends, and kids
No, not everything I did
But I'll leave some clues to find
