Thought I was somebody
Intro
Thought I was somebody
In my chauffeured driven car
Up there on that big stage
Playing lead guitar
She was a lady from the jet set
Guess I should have known
Just loved me for my money
And everything I owned
chorus
Knew she could be trouble
But everybody knows
When love is blind you cannot see
Thorns on a scented rose
Verse
In a land of milk and honey
You can blow it all away
Gambling and a drinking
She was with me night and day
A taker not a giver
And with nothing more to spend
She left me for another
Who I thought was my best friend
chorus
The one who said she’s cheating
Guess I should have known
Like me he never saw
Those thorns on a scented rose
verse
But now it’s all behind me
Regrets I’ve never had
Doing things I want to do
Just being a guitar man
With a pocketful of nothing
My boots let water in
Singing songs I walk along
Back on the road again
chorus
A minstrel and a roamer
My name nobody knows
No drinking and no gambling
Or thorns on a scented rose
