| [00:12.03] |
You fell in love or threw it away |
| [00:19.65] |
You're looking for the perfect thing to say |
| [00:25.78] |
You're no good with words well that's OK |
| [00:31.53] |
That's why I write songs |
| [00:35.53] |
. |
| [00:38.97] |
Might make you laugh or make you cry |
| [00:46.40] |
Might help you make it through a bad goodbye |
| [00:52.15] |
Cause you've been through it and so have I |
| [00:57.79] |
That's why I write songs |
| [01:01.54] |
. |
| [01:05.36] |
I remember all the times I felt |
| [01:11.35] |
Like somebody knows me all to well |
| [01:18.10] |
Cause it was my life story I was listening to |
| [01:28.98] |
I Don't know about you |
| [01:30.98] |
. |
| [01:34.97] |
But I've buried love ones and a few good friends |
| [01:42.04] |
I've held a brand new baby in my hands |
| [01:48.54] |
It ain't just what i do it's who I am |
| [01:53.72] |
And that's why I write songs |
| [01:58.61] |
. |
| [02:14.85] |
I remember how it blew my mind |
| [02:21.36] |
When I played my song and watched a grown man cry |
| [02:28.23] |
And it was at that moment I just knew |
| [02:37.67] |
What I was born to do |
| [02:40.29] |
. |
| [02:45.98] |
Most songwriters never get the fame |
| [02:53.54] |
Some folks wouldn't recognize their names |
| [03:00.86] |
But chances are you probably sang along |
| [03:05.42] |
. |
| [03:13.29] |
To Harlen Howard or Bob McDill |
| [03:20.42] |
Whitey Shafer or Whispering Bill |
| [03:27.29] |
All the times they ever gave me chills |
| [03:35.49] |
That's why I write songs |
| [03:39.73] |
