That's Why I Write Songs Lyrics - The Guitar Song - Jamey Johnson

You fell in love or threw it away 

You're looking for the perfect thing to say 

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

That's why I write songs 

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 

'Cause it was my life story I was listening to 

I don't know about you

NEW SONG: Thomas Rhett 'Remember You Young' - LYRICS 

But I've buried loved ones and a few good friends 

I've held a brand new baby in my hands 

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 my song and watched a grown man cry 

And it was at that moment I just knew 

What I was born to do 

Most songwriters never get the fame 

Some folks wouldn't recognize their names 

But chances are you probably sang along 

To Harlan Howard or Bob McDill 

Whitey Shafer or Whispering Bill 

All the times they ever gave me chills 

That's why I write songs
