lyrics

my solo’s coming up
my hands are getting sweaty
and my mouth is getting dry
my heart is beating faster
and the place is full of people
they’re staring right at me
everybody says I’m good
they all think I’m a hero
and they’re waitin’ for my solo
I’m gonna make it happen
and I hope I can remember
just where to put my fingers
I hope this old guitar
turns out to be my friend
because my solo’s coming up

yeah, my solo’s coming up
got a solo coming up

got a solo coming up
now she’s walking out the door
taking her belongings
she leaves me blowin’ like a leaf
like a feather in the wind
I’ll have the place to myself
and I won’t have to answer
to anybody else
I’ll eat anything I want
I’ll fall asleep in the chair
watching television
come and go as I please
and maybe take a long vacation
now I’m waiting on my solo
I’m gonna make it happen
I hope I can remember
just where I left my life
I hope my solitude
turns out to be my friend
because my solo’s coming up

I got a solo coming up
got me a solo coming up

now my solo’s coming up
and I’m lying here and thinking
that my life is almost over
and there’s nothing left to do
it’s one more door to open
and you pass through it alone
if I could make my body younger
I don’t think that I’d do it
because the older that I get
the more I understand
that we live until we die
and not a minute longer
and now I’m waiting for my solo
I’m gonna let it happen
and I hope I can remember
just where I left my soul
and I hope that my departure
turns out to be my friend
because my solo’s coming up
yeah, my solo’s coming up

My solo’s coming up
got me a solo coming up
