## Lyrics

Verse 1:

Late at night, beneath city lights,

With a 6-string and my heart alight,

I'm just a troubadour, keepin' soul alive,

When they dial my number, I come alive.

Chorus:

When they call me first, I'm their melody,

Lifting spirits high, setting hearts free,

I'll strum the chords, sing with all my might,

When they call me first, it's my time to ignite.

Verse 2:

From dive bars to big stages, I roam,

Every strum, every lyric, I make it my own,

I'll serenade the lost, the weary and the free,

When they call me first, they capture the key.

Chorus:

When they call me first, I'm their melody,

Lifting spirits high, setting hearts free,

I'll strum the chords, sing with all my might,

When they call me first, it's my time to ignite.

Bridge:

Through ups and downs, I've paid my dues,

Pulled my heartstrings, felt the blues,

But when they call me first, I'm in my prime,

A troubadour of love, for every place and time.

Chorus:

When they call me first, I'm their melody,

Lifting spirits high, setting hearts free,

I'll strum the chords, sing with all my might,

When they call me first, it's my time to ignite.

Outro:

So dial away, I'll be there in a beat,

With my guitar and soul, ready to meet,

For when they call me first, I feel the thrill,

A troubadour's love, forever fulfilled.
