More Than Just This Song Lyrics


Like a boat on a river this bus is floating down this old highway
Looking out the window I think about how I got here today
Anyone who's anywhere had some help getting there, it's true
And one of the reasons why I get to do the things I do
I met this angel with callused hands who led this boy to his band
Under his wing I learned to fly on these 6 strings through this life
You can hear them in my playing although he's gone
And I owe him so much more than just this song
Like a leaf that had fallen I was drifting down the stream
Mr. Guitar came into my life and let me live this dream
His old gretch still speaking, its teaching all of us a ton
He was my friend and my hero all wrapped up in one
I met this angel with callused hands who lead this naive boy into his band
Under his wing I learned to fly on his 6 strings into the night
I can still hear him playing although he's gone
And I owe him so much more than just this song
Every face we see from every stage we roll
With every note we play even though they're gone

They live on, they live on

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Brad Paisley (born October 28, 1972) is an American country music singer and songwriter from Glen Dale, West Virginia.

Brad Paisley has stated that his love of country music stems from his maternal grandfather, who gave Paisley his first guitar at age 8 and taught him how to play. At age 12, Paisley wrote his first song, and by 13 he was the opening act for country singers.

Paisley graduated from John Marshall High School in Glen Dale and enrolled at Belmont University (from 1993 to 1995). While in college, he met Frank Rogers, a fellow student who went on to serve as his producer. Paisley also met Kelley Lovelace, who became his songwriting partner.

After graduating from Belmont, Paisley signed a songwriting contract with EMI Music Publishing. His debut as a singer was with the label Arista Nashville, with the song, "Who Needs Pictures" (released February 22, 1999). In May of that same year, he made his first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry. Seven months later he had his first #1 hit with, ""He Didn't Have To Be."

In 2002, he won the CMA Music Video of the Year for ""I'm Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin' Song)." Several celebrities made notable guest appearances in the video, inluding Little Jimmy Dickens, Kimberly Williams (Paisley), Dan Patrick, and Jerry Springer.
