Ten Percent Blues Lyrics

Got a seat facing the engine

So I don't have to face where I've been

Luggage on the rack, no reason to look back

At all my wrecked and reckless gypsy dreams

No more bright lights, no more white lines

Or crashing in the back of the van

No more hustling small-time gigs

I guess time has beaten the band

No more deadlines, no more breadlines

Mr 10%, you're on your own

No more fine print, no more backstage  blues

This rolling stone is rolling home

Got a ticket to take me to tomorrow

It can't be worse than today

So driver, take me home and don't spare the horsepower

I'm on a ten year holiday

No more missed chances and chickenshit advances

Cold chips in the back of the van

No more blown tires and fuses, no more broken promises

Time has beaten the band

No more deadlines, no more breadlines

Mr 10%, you're on your own

No more fine print, no more backstage  blues

This rolling stone is rolling home

No more spotlights, no more ups and downers

Absolutely no stage fright

No more superstar fantasies

From today I'm strictly 9-5

No more infighting, no more moonlighting

No more one-night stands

All along while the band was beating time

I guess time was beating the band

No more deadlines, no more breadlines

Mr 10%, you're on your own

No more fine print, no more backstage  blues

This rolling stone is rolling home
