"I'm Okay With That"
I do what I can
I'm still just one man
I can't walk through these walls
Or see through it all
Okay
I'm okay with that
I got what I got
Enough, not a lot
Enough to give away
Can't keep it anyway
Okay
I'm okay with that
(chorus)
It ain't no crime to be lonely here
And to pay out your wages in tears
Pack light
Hang on loosely
Keep a prayer on your tongue
And be okay with that
Some things can't be ours
Some hearts, some nice cars
Leave this bag of bones
I only got it on loan
Okay
I'm okay with that.
Thanks for the hungarian distributor of Line6, I have been endorser of this company. DT-50 amplifier and the HD500 effect are the most versatile amp I ever heard. The ossibilities are endless.

He heard about Allan Holdsworth and Scott Henderson for the first time at the age of 17, and this defined his studies and his later style for a long time.
