Standing on the Outside [Singing]

Leo Kottke (born September 11, 1945, Athens, Georgia, U.S.) is an acoustic guitarist. He is known for a fingerpicking style that draws on influences from blues, jazz, and folk music, and for syncopated, polyphonic melodies. Kottke overcame a series of personal obstacles, including partial loss of hearing and a nearly career-ending bout with tendon damage in his right hand to emerge as a widely-recognized master of his instrument. Leo currently resides in the Minneapolis area with his family. more »

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I've been on the outside loving you
Seen from far away
Every day that I live for you
All I do or say

Like the song of the whippoorwill
Beneath a cloudy sky
Your love stands in front of me
While I go floating by

People talk about how they feel
But I never hear
You know they only want to get along
I only want you near

So standing on the outside loving you
Can't be so terribly bad
It's awful easy to get along
With what you've never had
