Sideman from Tales by Mark Westin

I’m not the kinda guy you take home
I’m not the man you call your own
I’m not the leader of your dream band
I’m only here to lend a hand
And disappear in the glow
But I just want you to know

I’m your sideman
I’m here to make you look good
I’m your sideman
And I’ll be right where I should
I’m your sideman when your front man’s come and gone
I’ll keep rockin on and on and on

I'm tender and tasteful but I can be bold
Loud or soft I can follow your lead
I'll learn all your licks just the way that you like ‘em
And play them as long as you need

I’m your sideman
I’m here to make you look good
I’m your sideman
And I’ll be right where I should
I’m your sideman when your front man’s come and gone
I’ll keep rockin on and on and on

When you ran through the changes and you got a little lost
Your sideman stepped it up and held it down
When everything is said and done until you come around to one
Your sideman’s always gonna come around

I may not be the one to keep forever
But for now I’m gonna keep you in the groove
I got skills that you can use any way and time you choose
High and hard or low and slow I got a lot of tasty moves

I’m your sideman
I’m here to make you look good
I’m your sideman
And I’ll be right where I should
I’m your sideman when your front man lets you down
You’ll be glad you got a sideman in town

When your frontman lets you down
You'll be glad you got a sideman around
