If you fell in love, or you threw it away, you're looking for that perfect thing to say.
And you're no good with words, but that's okay.
That's why I write songs.
They might make you laugh, or make you cry.
Might help you make it through a bad goodbye.
Cause you've been through it, and so have I.
And that's why I write songs.
I remember all the times I felt, like somebody knows me all too well.
Cause it was my life story, I was listening to.
I don't know about you, but I buried family, and a few good friends.
And held a brand new baby in my hands.
You see, it ain't just what I do, it's who I am.
And that's why I write songs.
I remember how it blew my mind, when I played a song and watched a grown man cry.
It was at that moment, when I just knew.
What I was born to do.
And you know most songwriters, they don't ever get any fame.
Hell, most people don't even recognize their names.
Chances are, you probably sang along.
To Harlan Howard, Bob McDill, Whitey Safer, and my friend Wishbone Bill.
And all the songs they wrote, that gave us chills.
And that's why I write songs.
Don't forget Hank Ackman.
