One Sure Honest Line Lyrics - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I made a living writing lover's dream words, 

I found the notes to hang them on 

I fround a way to play with the meaning of things 

And I came up with a couple good songs. 

And so I oughta have an easy answer, 

I oughta have some pretty things to say, 

But I haven't found the combination 

That'll make you change your mind and wanna stay. 

So I wish I had one sure honest line to say over and over again 

Sung in tune and time to a melody pure 

One clear everpresent pulse in the pocket 

And I'm on the radio so you'll know that I am yours

Listen to the laughter of the children 

She scratched on the back of a bill 

As we climbed past the road to the schoolhouse 

On the burnt crust browning pan hill 

To where they don't take sad for an answer, 

A place at the corner of your heart, 

Where music meets with memories, 

So you can recognize the feeling from the start

How I wish I had one sure honest line to say over and over again 

Sung in tune and time to a melody pure 

One clear everpresent pulse in the pocket? 

I'm on the radio so you'll know that I am yours 

They'll put us on the radio so you'll know that I am yours
