Lyrics

[Verse 1] I still listen to those tapes of you from 1977 And when I close my eyes and hear you singin' Jones It's my own private heaven Yeah, music is the bond that keeps us close But hearin' your sweet tenor voice is what I love the most [Chorus] And hey, my music man You spent your days workin' nights Playin' left hand bass in a three-piece band And I know that life and love were hard But you don't ever have to apologize for bein' who you are Your blood and bones have made me who I am Music man [Verse 2] Now life ain't always dealt you The fairest cards to play But you gave your life to Jesus Faced your demons and played them anyway And there were times I know you felt like givin' up (Givin' up) But you're up there now, lookin' down on me And that'll always be enough [Chorus] And hey, my music man You spent your days workin' nights Playin' left hand bass in a three-piece band And I know that life and love were hard So you don't ever have to apologize for bein' who you are Your blood and bones have made me who I am Music man [Bridge] You never had to say it But I could see it in your eyes And the love we share will never know goodbye [Chorus] And hey, my music man And I know that life and love were hard You don't ever have to apologize for bein' who you are And your blood and bones have made me who I am Music man [Outro] Music man Oh, my music man Ooh
