Skyline That Aint Mine

I'm in a small town in an even smaller bar

Can you really build a home for your wife

With tip money from a jar

Lord knows I've tried to keep a nine-to-five

But I ain't workin' for a man who don't give a damn

And be buried in a suit of tie

But I've got bills I've gotta pay

I should have a baby on the way

But I'm on the road singin' these songs

Like they'll save me someday

And I'm not scared to say

I've been sittin' here teary-eyed

For the last damn thirty minutes lookin' at a skyline

A skyline that ain't mine A skyline that ain't mine

And it ain't my name in lights on the marquee sign

And that devil on my shoulder

He's been workin' hard he's puttin' in overtime Waging war on my mind

And it's been one hell of a fight

With all these bills I've gotta pay

I should have a baby on the way

But I'm on the road singin' these songs

Like they'll save me someday

And I'm not scared to say

I've been sittin' here teary-eyed

For the last damn thirty minutes lookin' at a skyline

A skyline that ain't mine A skyline that ain't mine

Well, it'd sure be easy to quit and head back home

But I know right where I belong is on stage with a microphone

But I've got bills I've gotta pay

I should have a baby on the way

But I'm on the road singin' these songs

Cause I know they'll save me someday

And I'm not scared to say

I've been sittin' here teary-eyed

For the last damn thirty minutes lookin' at a skyline

A skyline that ain't mine A skyline that ain't mine
