A guitar won't change the world
But there's nights that I feel like it has
A singer can't put lonely in a song
Until he's felt lonely like that
Callused fingers, a poured out heart
And a dream much harder than you ever thought
Oh, I don't know why I do what I do
I just know that I'm in right or wrong
Somewhere in these chords lies the truth
For a guitar, a singer and a song
Well, it's not always gonna rhyme
And sometimes it won't be in tune
And the damn thing will keep you up at night
You think you're singing the song but the song's singing you
Oh, I don't know why I do what I do
I just know that I'm in right or wrong
Somewhere in these chords lies the truth
For a guitar, a singer and a song
So I'll write you a thousand songs
And I'll play you a thousand shows
It'll feel like a thousand years
Some will remember me and some won't
But I know why I do what I do
Oh and I'm in till the day that I'm gone
And I pray when they speak my name
That I live on
Oh, in a guitar, a singer and a song
