[Verse] Streetlights flicker in the pouring rain, Strings hum a story soaked in pain. Calloused fingers walk the frets with care, Chasing a dime, chasing some air. [Pre-Chorus] Crowds pass by, faces turn away, But this old guitar’s got something to say. [Chorus] Play me out of the shadows, Strum me through the night, I’m just a lonely rider On a fading neon light. Give me one more reason, One truth to wear— A little bus fare, A little dignity to spare. [Verse] Whispers of a life I left behind, Echoing in every chord I find. Broken strings and a weathered face, Still searching for my saving grace. [Pre-Chorus] Empty pockets, but my soul’s on fire, Every note a quiet, desperate desire. [Chorus] Play me out of the shadows, Strum me through the night, I’m just a lonely rider On a fading neon light. Give me one more reason, One truth to wear— A little bus fare, A little dignity to spare. [Bridge] (Backing vocals: ooh, ooh) The city hums, but I’m unheard, Silent prayers in every word. But maybe one day, someone will hear— The sound of hope breaking through the fear. [Chorus] Play me out of the shadows, Strum me through the night, I’m just a lonely rider On a fading neon light. Give me one more reason, One truth to wear— A little bus fare, A little dignity to spare. [Outro] (Softly, fading) A little bus fare, A little dignity to spare...
