Lyrics

If I had a dollar for every song I played

I’d buy myself an island with the money that I made

If I were a superstar and all my work was known

The road from rags to riches would be my very own



But this is just a fantasy – Just a worn out dream

It isn’t who I wanna be – It isn’t what I need



I play for me – I play for you – I’ll play for anyone who’ll listen – I play ‘cause I want to

I play for me – I play my songs – If you think I play for fame and fortune

You couldn’t be more wrong



If I played arenas and traveled through the land

And people paid to see me on the stage and with my band

If I had to sign my name a million times or more

I wouldn’t turn to leave until the last one’s out the door



But this is just a fantasy – Just a worn out dream

It isn’t who I wanna be – It isn’t what I need



I play for me – I play for you – I’ll play for anyone who’ll listen – I play ‘cause I want to

I play for me – I play my songs – If you think I play for fame and fortune

You couldn’t be more wrong



If I hit the big time – If I were a star

I’d stick to just the music, ‘cause that’s how I got this far

And if they wanted more of me, they wouldn’t get their way

‘Cause I don’t think it matters what stardom has to say



I play for me – I play for you – I’ll play for anyone who’ll listen – I play ‘cause I want to

I play for me – I play my songs – If you think I play for fame and fortune

You couldn’t be more wrong



I play for me – I play for you – I’ll play for anyone who’ll listen ‘Cause that’s – Just what I do
