lyrics

Well I was working by your side almost every night
Sometimes you’re wrong but mostly you are right
And if I were ever lost and could not see
You’d be there and you’d take care of me

Oh if I could only hold a tune,
It would be you to make it true
Oh I can barely sing a note
Because of you I’m on the radio
And we can both agree,
You’re a better man than me
If I could only learn just how to shut my mouth

And I’m walking away with Samantha Freed
And I’m walking away from this nonsense
Please send my regards,
To the rooster and his drum
You’re the one,
Samantha Freed

In 1993 I was the king
I was crowned in a parade and homecoming
But when I got here I was second to the best
You’re the king of rock and roll I must confess

Oh if I wasn’t such a jerk
You and me could make it work
I would write up a turn of phrase
And you could make it sound so great
Oh I felt it from the start
Things were bound to fall apart
You see you can’t have two kings prosiding on the stage

And I’m walking away with Samantha Freed
And I’m walking away from this nonsense
Please send my regards,
To the rooster and his drum
You’re the one,
Samantha Freed

I realized the line that I had to draw
And I could see the writing on the wall
You see the same thing happened in 2010
In 2014 it’s happening again.

But this time we really lost our heads.
The lawyers were sleeping in my bed
I can’t believe the paperwork
If I hadn’t acted so absurd
And we can both agree
You’re a better man than me
If I could only learn just how to close my mouth

And I’m walking away with Samantha Freed
And I’m walking away from this nonsense
Please send my regards,
To the rooster and his drum
You’re the one,
Samantha Freed
