Lyrics
Not For Me
Music & Lyrics: Todd Thibaud
There’s a rhythm in the night and it’s got me in the mood to move
Out here on the street man sometimes it’s hard to feel the groove
I wanna hear the sound of nothing, lose myself in open space
Take a new direction disappear without a trace
Maybe there’s a road that I never found
Maybe there’s stars hidden in the ground
Maybe something better in another town
But not for me, not for me
Downtown Sadie is a profit and a friend of mine
She says that life ain’t no secret, it’s as simple as a ball of twine
Everyday’s another layer, every piece another lesson learned
She says the bigger that you make it the longer you can watch it burn
Maybe there’s a truth that was never sung
Maybe there’s love here for everyone
Maybe then the promise of a distant sun
But not for me, not for me
Wasn’t it too clear, the well worn path that brought me here
I look with drunken eyes at what might’ve been, now cast aside
There’s a rhythm in the night and it’s got me in the mood to move
Out here in the darkness there’s nothing left for me to prove
And maybe there’s a road that I never found
Maybe there’s stars hidden in the ground
Maybe something better in another town
But not for me, not for me
Maybe there’s a truth that was never sung
Maybe there’s love here for everyone
Maybe then a promise of a distant sun
But not for me, not for me
