Getty Lyrics

Carol Noonan Band Getty

Getty was a mov'n man
He's got no house
And he's got no lands
Got a girl in school
But he's played the fool
She's watching soaps all days

He plays in the bars almost every night
But if he's lucky he just might
Be his own boss
But at what cost
He's almost on his way

But almost isn't good enough
He didn't know it would be so rough
Why can't it be like on TV
Why can't it be just a guy like me

He's writing songs to win the crowd
His agent says his band's too loud
And he works till eight
But he's never late
When it's time for him to play

Almost isn't good enough
He didn't know it would be so rough
Why can't it be like on TV
Why can't it be just a guy like me
Getty was a mov'n man
He's got no house
He's got no land
And he sings with heart
And that's a start
He's almost on his way

Almost isn't good enough
He didn't know it would be so rough
Why can't it be like on TV
Why can't it be just a guy like me

And almost isn't good enough
He didn't know it would be so rough
Why can't it be like on TV
Why can't it be just a guy like me
