The sound of his favorite song it kept him up all night long He says the words bring a tear to his eye He stays up late and watches the sun rise sometimes He likes to watch the moon fade from in the sky Chorus Sometimes the music seems to soothe his soul And he gets lost in his lonesome songs Sometimes he hears her sing beside him in the night Hes a lost songwriter who cant find the words to write Guitar on the front of the boat Hes playin songs that he wish he had wrote And Gods breath hummin out a tune The stars and the rain outside he hopes Will ease his mind to write And all of this will bring him home soon Chorus Then he stayed up late last night Cause he couldnt find the words to write And this good old movie came on the T.V It was about these love lost souls searchin for someone to hold He said that sure sounds a lot like me Chorus
