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 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 'til 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 song
