Richie Kotzen - Paying Dues Lyrics






Maybe I'm just wasting time
Maybe I'm paying dues
Maybe I'm just one more lie
Maybe I'm just doing what I'm meant to do

I been locked up at the county jail
Been called a loser I should cut my hair
Been called unfaithful and I don't care
I've done it all but I'm doing nothing

Maybe I'm just wasting time
Maybe I'm just paying dues
Maybe I'm just one more lie
Maybe I'm just doing what I'm meant to do

I've been put down but my skin is thick
I may be small but my hands are quick
I lay in the cut and I'm in the mix
I'm all lit up I'm ready for you

Maybe I'm just wasting time
Maybe I'm just paying dues
Maybe I'm just one more lie
Maybe I'm just doing what I'm meant to do

I made a fortune and I lost it too
And I've been loved and I've been used
I'm undecided but I see the truth
I ain't had enough till I had you

Maybe I'm just wasting time
Maybe I'm just paying dues
Maybe I'm just one more lie
Maybe I'm just doing what I'm meant to do

I'm paying dues
Maybe I'm just wasting time
Maybe I'm paying dues
I got nothing to lose, yeah
Maybe I'm paying dues

    A.... B....

    You wanna see him play the piano too.... not bad! 

    A.... B....

    I don't know him personally but he seems to be a humble person...something you don't see much around nowadays...and in my book that calls for...respect!

    T.... P....

    @Henrique Oliveira which is what I thought when I first posted my comment. Does that mean nowadays he can sweep without using a pick?
     

    T.... P....

    I have seen him sweep live w/o a pick.

    T.... P....

    24 hours was the first album that he started using just his fingers.. everything before that was with a pick
