Lyrics

Who’s Playing Tonight - by Mike Sales

There’s some of us on every island
There’s one of us in every bar
Some of us might just be your neighbor
Most of us want to be a star

The only thing that separates us
Is the name under the lights and how we come alive when you come to find
who’s playing tonight

That’s what I do, no need for a cue cause I’m the showfolk kind
Makin the rounds, layin it down on a stage every night
You don’t have to tell me what’s on your mind
I can read a room just fine
No one you know just a regular joe who’s playing tonight

Some people wanna hear some Buffett
A country song or rock and roll
I’ve got sand in my shoes so I can’t play the blues but I’ve got plenty of soul

Oh but don’t bother asking if I made the right decision for my life
Though I may not hit the top or ever settle down
Tell me what would you be doing in this town if no one here could make a sound

Like I do, no need for a cue cause I’m the showfolk kind
Makin the rounds, layin it down on a stage every night
You don’t have to tell me what’s on your mind
I can read a room just fine
No one you know, just a regular joe who’s playing tonight
