Song information
Scaustrita helped me mix and master this one. About something I'm sure everyone who contributes music to this site can relate to. This is part of a CD I put out called "Superstars" in 2021. When I sent the album to a music review site called "Pitch Perfect," they singled this song out calling it "outstanding."

Lyrics
If you have yourself a Pignose
You can walk out in the street
Play everybody a tune now
Get the coins thrown at your feet

Recording in the studio if you've got a brand new song
Gotta work on it a lot you know, they might follow you along

CHORUS:
To run for the high hills
You know you try so hard
Learn to feed your soul
You'll know that your jewel's in the cards

When the song is over, it can take you by surprise
Sounds so bad the next day, and there's really no way to advise
And you ears can fool you, listen to it somewhere else
You'll just hear things that'll make you want to scream

REPEAT CHORUS:

And now things are going well
But the hours have passed me by
And there's really no time left
And I gotta give my work a try
So I go out and play for everyone 
And I do my very best
But it doesn't make a difference
Nobody seems to care

REPEAT CHORUS:

Nice job, great message… I remember playing on the streets of San Francisco with one of my music pals and making about $.37.

Excellent! 
Busking is a tradition that doesn't seem to have ever caught on in these United States.
Too bad...
Really like your lead soloing in this Mark.

Yes, I can relate..esp in the past.. now I just take it easier.. I often hear a Steely Dan influence in your compositions such as this one- your work is so sophisticated.. I mean that in a very positive way.  Kudos to Steve's 'mix-mastering' and congrats to that review
