Write Me A Song

Now shes living on child support checks

I guess thats all that man was worth



She said I just need a man who will love me

But they all just want one night of sin

I know our life could be better

I just dont know where I should begin



She said write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

And the old women swoon

At the sound of my tune

And the hearts of the lonely will fly

Yeah, theyll fly



Beth, she sings straight from the heart

Shes hidden her tracks very well

But these days shes falling apart

And it makes me feel just like hell



She says, boy, you cant imagine my life

The death and the drugs and the pain

And though I keep running

I just cant seem to break from these chains



She said write me a song

Fill it all up with words

Like brilliant and heavenly

Make it sound just like me

Just like the first time I love you was heard



And now write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

And the old women swoon

At the sound of my tune

And the hearts of the lonely will fly



We're all feeding our lonely

Like it might go away

The doors of heaven swing wide

If we just find the right words to say



She said write me a song

Fill it all up with words

Like brilliant and heavenly

Make it sound just like me

Just like the first time I love you was heard



And now write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

And the old women swoon

At the sound of my tune

And the hearts of the lonely will fly



Yeah, fly

She said write me a song

She said write me a song

She said write me a song

She said write me a song
