Lyric Homemade Music - Jimmy Buffett

Lyric Song Homemade Music: Homemade Music

by Jimmy BuffettMichael Utley and Russell Kunkel

I ain t no video king
I still have to sing
For my supper each night
You may stand on the benches
I play in the trenches
Beneath the big spotlights
Lived in a suitcase for half of my years
I ve got strange little voices that live in my ears
Hall monstermall monster
I can t believe the old me no more

Chorus
Homemade music down in the passion pits
Homemade music lots o grits but no hits
Homemade music is part of my philosophy

Oh cooking is a pleasure
And singing is a treasure
That most don t find
There ain t no harm in telling
I like to eat my mellon
Right on down to the rind
I had a hippie girlfriend when I was a kid
She died and went to the suburbs most of them did
Raisin puppieshaving yuppies
Where did all the wild ones go

Chorus
Homemade music ain t on the radio
Homemade music searchin high and low
Homemade music where did all the good songs go

Bridge
First there were records then cassettes and CDs
Bankers and lawyers then came the Japanese
Homemade music still making sense to me

Chorus
Homemade music so funky and nice
Homemade music sits on very thin ice
But homemade music is part of my philosophy

Chorus
Homemade music ain t on the radio
Homemade music searchin high and low
Homemade music where did all the good songs go
