about

A heartfelt tune about a traveling singer/songwriter

lyrics

He's a traveling man, he writes songs for a living
Though he wouldn't put it that way, he gets by anyway
He looks for an audience, a place to fit in
In an industry just looking for the next big thing

And so he leaves his only home
Driving a car that's just on loan
Just a guitar to call his own

What will he have if he can't have it all?
What will he have if he can't have it all?

He says he's leaving, she says don't come back again
Because I'm tired of saying goodbye, I'm giving up this time
He says I'm sorry, she says I'm sorry too
Because I know what you're searching for don't exist in this world

And so he leaves his only home
Driving a car that's just on loan
Just a guitar to call his own

And what will he have if he can't have it all?
What will he have if he can't have it all?
What will he have if he can't have it all?

Twenty years later and still no record deal
But he's still writing songs on that old guitar
Every town a new line on his face
Singing songs of leaving
Singing songs of loneliness
Singing songs of lost love

What will he have if he can't have it all?
What will he have if he can't have it all?
What will he have if he can't have it all?
What will he have if he can't have it all?
