A Guitar, A Singer And A Song

A guitar won't change the world
But there's nights that I feel like it has
A singer can't put lonely in a song
Until he's felt lonely like that
Callused fingers, a poured out heart
And a dream much harder then you ever thought

Oh, I don't know why I do what I do
I just know that I'm in right or wrong
Somewhere in these chords lies the truth
For a guitar, a singer and a song

Well, it's not always gonna rhyme
And sometimes it won't be in tune
And the damn thing will keep you up at night
You think you're singing the song
But the song's singing you

Oh, I don't know why I do what I do
I just know that I'm in right or wrong
Somewhere in these chords lies the truth
For a guitar, a singer and a song


So I'll write you a thousand songs
And I'll play you a thousand shows
It'll feel like a thousand years
Some will remember me and some won't

But I know why I do what I do
Oh, and I'm in 'til the day that I'm gone
And I pray when they speak my name
That I live on

Oh, in a guitar, a singer, and a song
