Songwriter Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

He sits with the guitar on his knee 

Thinking of love that he's had 

If it makes a sound, he writes it down 

He's a songwriter 

He's trying to paint 

Little pictures of mountains 

Turn little teardrops into mighty fountains 

He's a songwriter 

He smiles at the good lines, frown at the bad lines 

Cries with the sad parts 

Rewrites the bad parts 

He's a songwriter

He looks through the window of life 

Some people think, he's a joke 

But who can tell the thing might sell 

He's a songwriter 

He's trying to paint 

Little pictures of mountains 

Turn little teardrops into mighty fountains 

He's a songwriter

Thank you for hearing my tune 

Now, I'll get out of your room 

It's late you know, I've got to go 

I'm a songwriter, hmm, hmm
