I wrote a song about the morning
That woke me so gentle and blue
A song `bout a cowgirl in blue jeans
Who knocked me right out of my shoes
Wrote a song about a mother
In pain, she could`t stand it no more
A song `bout a mean honkytonker
Who left cursin`and slammin` the door
Refr.:
I wrote good songs and bad songs
Some not worth a good tune
`bout laughing and crying, living and dieing
And love, and roses that bloom
I wrote a song about a lady
Doin` life in a mansion of gold
`bout a girl in a Hollywood office
And the lies that she had been told
Wrote a song about a gambler
Who was short of one ace in the hole
`bout a preacher located in Nashville
Playin`guitar to save all our souls
Refr.:
I wrote good songs and bad songs
Some not worth a good tune
`bout laughing and crying, living and dieing
And love, and roses that bloom
