Mark's a man who's clear and honest
Picked me up and said: It's kinda early for the party to end
Told him it was all for music
Gather 'round to listen to it, said if he could do it all again

It'd be Mark on the radio
Like Zeppelin, he'd be playin' shows
But time will wait for no one
He swears he's just too old
Mm

Said that he should take it South
And find a bar and try it out, swore the beer would soften the blow
He said: It's hard to do sober
And sing in a town that you know
Commend me for pushing through, but if I could do it, so could you
He laughs, but I could see it all now

It'd be Mark on the radio
Like Zeppelin playin' sold out shows
And time will wait for no one
But you're never too old
Mark on the radio
To never try you'll never know
The feelin' when they call your name
The feelin' when you take the stage

So you can do this, I promise
It's gonna be worse to want it
And never get out there, honest
Never get out there, honest
You can do this, I promise
It's gonna be worse to want it
There'll come a day you're out of town

Mark's a man who's clear and honest
Stranger's car or stranger topic
Grateful that we got to talking
Hope one day I'll see you again
