I live a little life
I have a little yard
Got a little job
I don't work too hard
I've got a little girl
She gives me a lot of love
The sun shines up above

I had a little dream
About my little old guitar
All it's strings agleam
Like shining stars
It was on a little stage
In a little spot light beam
I can't tell you what it means.

In the darkness around the stage
You could hear the people scream
Whether it was in joy or fear
Wasn't clear to me
But the money rained down
And it washed out to the sea
Not a thing was left for me

I had a little word
I found a little rhyme
Played a little note
Wrote a little rhyme
Wrote another note or two
It became a little song
When I woke up it was gone

repeat chorus
repeat first verse
repeat last line of first verse
