Write Me a Song

                                  Kelly is raising her son

His dad left just after the birth

Now she's living on child support checks

I guess that's all that man was worth



She said I just need a man who will love me

But they all just want one night of sin

I know our life could be better

I just don't know where I should begin



She said write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

And the old women swoon 

At the sound of my tune

And the hearts of the lonely will fly

Yeah, they'll fly



Beth, she sings straight from the heart

She's hidden her tracks very well

But these days she's falling apart

And it makes me feel just like hell



She says, boy, you can't imagine my life

The death and the drugs and the pain

And though I keep running

I just can't seem to break from these chains



She said write me a song

Fill it all up with words

Like brilliant and heavenly

Make it sound just like me

Just like the first time I love you was heard



And now write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

And the old women swoon 

At the sound of my tune

And the hearts of the lonely will fly



We're all feeding our lonely

Like it might go away

The doors of heaven swing wide

If we just find the right words to say



She said write me a song

Fill it all up with words

Like brilliant and heavenly

Make it sound just like me

Just like the first time I love you was heard



And now write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

And the old women swoon 

At the sound of my tune

And the hearts of the lonely will fly



Yeah, fly

She said write me a song

She said write me a song

She said write me a song

She said write me a song
