My Name Up In Lights versuri

Versuri The Meters – My Name Up In Lights lyrics

I’d like to be a writer
A singer or a fighter
Anything I could do to get my name up in lights
I’d even be a spokesman
Or just a plain old jokesman
I’d make you crack your side and laugh all night

Don’t wanna be no baker
Can’t be no undertaker
‘cause for me those things just ain’t right
Don’t wanna be no teacher
Or just another preacher
I only wanna do what’d put my name up in lights

I got to get my name up in lights
I got to get my name up in lights
I got to get my name up in lights
I got to get my name up in lights

Can’t be no government worker
Can’t be no __________
‘cause that type of life’s just not for me, no
I couldn’t be no jailer
Don’t wanna be no sailor
‘cause what I want can’t be found in the sea

I got to get my name up in lights
I got to get my name up in lights
I got to get my name up in lights
I got to get my name up in lights

I’d even be a spokesman
Or just a plain old jokesman
I’d make you crack your side and laugh all night
I’d like to be a writer
A singer or a fighter
Anything I could do to get my name up in lights

I got to get my name up in lights
I got to get my name up in lights
I got to get my name up in lights
I got to get my name up in lights

I gotta get my name up
My name up in lights
I gotta get my name up
My name up in lights
I gotta get my name up
My name up in lights
I gotta get my name up
My name up in lights

(I gotta get my name up) I got to get my name up in lights
(I gotta get my name up) I got to get my name up in lights
(I gotta get my name up) I got to get my name up in lights
(I gotta get my name up) I got to get my name up in lights
(I gotta get my name up) I got to get my name up in lights
(I gotta get my name up) I got to get my name up in lights
I gotta get my name up
My name up in lights
I gotta get my name up
My name up in lights
