Write A Book About Me Lyrics - Brokop Lisa

I over heard a resent conversation 

They were talking about a novel they just read 

A fiction about tragedy and romance 

A trail of hope and heartache that was left 

It began someplace in Southern Mississippi 

A young bride and groom declared their sacred vows 

He quit school and takes a job at the Exxon 

They scrape up enough to buy a little house 

Soon enough they learn that there's a baby on the way 

Soon enough they learn there are bills they can't pay 

It can happen in anywhere in any town on any street 

It could be about me, write a book about me 

So the guy starts stressin' out and drinkin' too hard 

And the magic they once knew begins to fade 

She has to take a double shift down at the Wal-Mart 

She get her makeup free by selling Mary Kay 

She finally kicks the guy out 'till he goes and finds religion 

They join a Pentecostal Church and it all gets forgiven 

With the tears and Hallelujahs life will be what it will be 

This could me about me, write a book about me 

Now they say it's being made into a movie 

But they'll have to and some drama here and there 

But it still won't hold a candle to the real world 

Life on every corner, everywhere 

I guess we've all had hard times and no time is ever wasted 

Might as well be grateful for the sorrow we have tasted 

In the end we will all find out that we are in good company 

Write a book about you, write a book about me 

Write a book about you, write a book about me 

Like my friend who was the fibber back in high school 

She went out with Mr. Chandler, he taught band 

Now she runs the Piggly Wiggly down on Elm street
