One of the advantages of going early at an open mic is that there is plenty of time to be inspired by everything that is going on…

I don’t know the chords
I just write the letters
and hope you answer

I don’t have a stamp
I just try to make an impression
and hope you respond

I don’t know the dance
I just follow the steps
and hope they lead to your door

I don’t know the tune
I just hope the key opens the door
and you let me in
