I’ll Play It Till I Die (Neil Cotton)
I started playing late, 30 years ago I was way past being, wholly fully grown. I was thinking of shrinking down a little bit Wanting to get fit to keep on doing this.
I can’t take music with me So I’ll play it till I die. I love to have my woman And guitar by my side I’ll play it till I die
I have been spoiled by both of them you see She gives happiness music calms my beast I have an angry side been known to bust a nose But singing shoves madness aside in deep repose.
I can’t take music with me So I’ll play it till I die. I love to have my woman And guitar by my side I’ll play it till I die
The majesty of music Is the magic of its wings It carries me and you On imaginary flings
I can’t take music with me So I’ll play it till I die. I love to have my woman And guitar by my side I’ll play it till I die

You're committed to your art, Neil. I, too, will be in music one way or another until the end.

We may have alot in common, I'm 33, started playing at 30, and can't remember what life was like before, can't even remember how I lived without it! Cheers! Great and relatable writing!
If I am not myself today, then who am I, and who is me?

Just watched a great Seasick Steve interview that reminds me of this lyric. Dreams aren't just goals, they can be best friends, too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6NIY2WuVMc
