He looked worn and rugged and had a gray goatee
a ponytail, a weathered smile and a vagabond degree
First time that I met him, was a few years before he passed
He told me fame and fortune was a flame that just don’t last
Chorus
One minute your on top of the mountain looking down on the sky
then you know a few years disappear in a blink of an eye
One minute your floating, next your groveling on the ground
It ebbs and flows, that’s the way it goes, in lifes ….ups and downs

He’d play some songs on Tuesdays at the happy duck cafe
We’d go out back to burn one and hed talked about the glory days
He played guitar for big time stars in front of sold out crowds
Now he sings for tips and he’s come to grips in the local writers round
