Bobby's on the pavement and can't find a soul
Who isn't out there hustling just to get on the dole
Sarah got a headshot before she wrote her first line
Now they're both turning tricks with someone else's guilded rhymes
They're not playing for fun.

Gina has some cowboy boots and knows they'll make her famous
Her kids are back at the shelter while she's here to entertain us
Rick's down on Second Avenue; he's an excellent musician
But drunk tourists blow by him without even listening
He's not playing for fun.

Where is anybody who'll play music for fun
I know they must be out there, but I can't find one.
The business would have us believe we've all gone extinct.
They'd rather us do anything to abandon our instincts
Just to play for fun.

Some of us play music because we just can't not
And why we ever started is something we forgot
You might say it's a thing we go to when we need a fix
Playing just happens at the time the music picks
But it's all in good fun
We're playing for fun.

I'm talking about those of us who play when we're a little nervous
And we'd be the first to admit, being on state is tortuous
Sitting on the front porch is a much better time
Plucking notes from the sky, and finding that sweet rhyme
We're playing for fun.

Come on anybody who'll play music for fun
I know you must be out there sitting somewhere in the sun
The business would have us believe we've all gone extinct
But hold on to your convictions and don't abandon your instinct
Just to play for fun.
Just to play for fun.
Just to play for fun.
