The Starving Artist Lyrics by Pink Williams

The Starving Artist

2021

[Verse 1]
I never thought I'd be the kind to wind up pan-handling online
But rent is due and I ain't got enough
I broke my back back in '09, now labor is an uphill climb
And working through the pain is getting tough
Each day I wake up broken, by the end, I'm barely dead
Just to go to sleep, wake up, and work again
Got no motivation, it's just an obligation
To work and work and spend and spend and spend
[Chorus]
Folks will say it's just a dream, unlikely to come true
But that won't stop me singing and playing my little song for you
I'm a starving artist, unemployed and finally free
So won't you spare a dime for me?
[Verse 2]
I don't need to make a billion dollars with my tunes
I just need enough to pay the rent
I just want a little dough, so I can go to the grocery store
Beforе my hard-earned money's all been spеnt
I don't expect a bundle, just a little to get by
I ain't trying to make the fortune five
I just wanna be able to say, "Hey, my music got me paid
Just enough to keep the dream alive"
[Chorus]
Folks will say it's just a dream, unlikely to come true
But that won't stop me singing and playing my little song for you
I'm a starving artist, unemployed and finally free
So won't you spare a dime for me?
Or grab a chair and keep me company
