lyrics

I never could write a song for her, and I always wondered why
Stumped on scribblin’ lovely rhymes, and that full moon in her eye
Leaves me starin’ at an ink pen, distracted by a smile
“C’mon we got more memories to make,” ain’t got memoirs, we got miles

A ditty ‘bout a honky tonk & whiskey jars
We could write ‘em all night long
Rather take that time doin’ the things that we do
Than have another country song
Instead of stretchin’ for a song to sing
That page lay folded in my pocket, blank
Maybe make it to Dakota, bump the radio and cola
And her love fillin’ up the tank

(Chorus)
Take time to write that old love song,
Then you blink your eyes and your lover’s gone
I’d sing the words, but they’d come out wrong,
Her tune bouncin’ ‘round my head all along
Like a boot print stomped in the dirt,
She’s heard the songs of all the ways that I’ve been hurt
So I’d rather kick off these boots and see,
A new way to swim towards another memory (another memory)

Found I didn’t need to write no love song,
But find a lover that’ll make me sing.
And we’re belting out every chorus this life’ll bring…

(Chorus)

So there I was on that old back porch, thinkin’ I had writer’s block
Sun soaked with the style of her smile, while acoustics start to rock
Get rich quick ditties on the radio, a steady risin’ of our stock
That I’ll never cash in, so long as you make my knees knock

(Chorus)

So I didn’t need to write no love song,
I found a lover that makes me sing
Now we’re belting out every chorus this life’ll bring...
