Sons of the Delta - Just Want To Make A Living

Just Want To Make A Living

Well I've been playing these Blues now for so long
I’ve had so many women that have come and gone
I'm not asking much, I think I paid my dues
I just want to make a living with the life I choose

I don't want to make a name, I just want to make a living
Been carrying the flame, ever since the beginning
It really is a shame, given what I’m giving
I don't want to make a name, I just want to make a living
Lord is it too much to ask
Paid my dues now I just want a little bit back

People work much longer than they play
Weekend comes they want to blow their cares away
That’s where I come in, that’s why I entertain
Wash their troubles off like dust in rain

I don’t want to be a superstar
With a diamond watch and fancy cars
And all that other stuff I’ll never miss
But I know I’m worth much more than this

Lord is it too much to ask
Paid my dues now I just want a little bit
Too much too ask
Need new shoes so I just want a little bit
Too much to ask
Paid my dues now I just want a little bit back
