Best Foot Forward gettin’ Nowhere Fast (Song Lyric)

Been scrapin’ around this world of rock,
Got a real education in the school of hard knocks.
Times I think I’m on the right track
But it’s one step on and two steps back
oh yeah that’s the way it is
oh yeah, that’s the way in the music biz

The only way rock music pays
Is to meet the right person, right time right place
Too busy kissin ass to make any cash
Workin’ like a slave, gettin nowhere fast
oh yeah that’s the way it is
yeah – tired of waiting – in the music biz

Best foot forward, shoulder to the wheel
Gotta keep my chin up, show a clean pair o’heels
Have to toe the line, work my fingers to the bone
Get my ass in gear and my nose to the grindstone.
Ear to the ground, eyes on the ball
Best foot forward, or I’m a-gonna fall…
All twisted up, my thumb up my ass
Workin like a dog, gettin nowhere fast.

INSTRUMENTAL

Always listened what Dad had to say
“Work too hard son will drive ya to the grave”.
He said, “Blow that harp boy and you can’t go wrong,
All ya have to do’s write one hit song”
oh yeah that’s the way is
Yeah, yeah – nothing’s fair in the music biz

Best foot forward, shoulder to the wheel etc…

(He was right) Hard work’s gonna take it’s toll
(He was right) Hard work’ll take me closer to the hole
(He was right) But what Dad didn’t know
The hardest job I had is rock and roll.

Best foot forward… still gettin’ nowhere fast.

“But that’s the gig baby and it’s the gas.”
