I am no king in a kingdom
Not a pauper in need of wisdom
I am an old thing born of dust

But I am a good man that you can trust

Well let me play you your melody
I can lay down your sweet harmonies
Just no lover, but a friend
Give me the right shoes baby and I can dance

Love, it's the right sound to me
I'll write you a love song
To give you tender sleep
Write me into the fabric of you
I'll be your sweet songbird singing the truth

I ain't no smart man, I am not learned
I just can't tangle with the corporate hands
I am an old thing and I will return to my dust
But I am a good man that you can trust

Love, it's the right sound to me
I'll write you a love song
To give you tender sleep
Write me into the fabric of you
I'll be your sweet songbird singing...

Love, it's the right sound to me
I'll write you a love song
To give you tender sleep
Write me into the fabric of you
I'll be your sweet songbird singing the truth

You give me an inch, baby
I'll give you my life
Give me the green light, darling so I can try
I am an old thing that returns to the dust
Just a good man that you can trust
I am a good man that you can trust
Just a good man that you can trust
