That's Why I Write Songs

We fell in love and you threw it away

You're lookin' for that perfect thing to say

You're no good with words, well, that's okay

That's why I write songs

It 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

That's why I write songs

I remember all the times I felt

Like somebody knows me all too well

And it was my life story I was listenin' to

I don't know about you

But I've 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

You know most songwriters, they don't ever get the fame

And I know most people don't even recognize their names

But chances are you probably sang along

To Harlan Howard or Bob McDill

Whitey Shafer and my friend Whispering Bill

All the songs they wrote, they gave us chills

That's why I write songs

I'm forgetting Eddie Cochran

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
