[00:00.00]Jamey Johnson - That's Why I Write Songs
[00:00.84]
[00:12.05]You fell in love or threw it away
[00:19.75]You're looking for the perfect thing to say
[00:25.82]You're no good with words well that's OK
[00:31.68]That's why I write songs
[00:36.19]
[00:39.03]Might make you laugh or make you cry
[00:46.49]Might help you make it through a bad goodbye
[00:52.21]Cause you've been through it and so have I
[00:57.90]That's why I write songs
[01:01.85]
[01:05.43]I remember all the times I felt
[01:11.46]Like somebody knows me all to well
[01:16.76]Cause it was my life story I was listening to
[01:26.38]I Don't know about you
[01:31.26]
[01:35.04]But I've buried love ones and a few good friends
[01:42.12]I've held a brand new baby in my hands
[01:48.57]It ain't just what i do it's who I am
[01:53.76]And that's why I write songs
[01:58.00]
[02:14.88]I remember how it blew my mind
[02:21.11]When I played my song and watched a grown man cry
[02:28.24]And it was at that moment I just knew
[02:37.72]What I was born to do
[02:43.87]
[02:46.08]Most songwriters never get the fame
[02:53.55]Some folks wouldn't recognize their names
[03:00.87]But chances are you probably sang along
[03:06.95]
[03:13.31]To Harlen Howard or Bob McDill
[03:19.94]Whitey Shafer or Whispering Bill
[03:27.34]All the times they ever gave me chills
[03:35.57]That's why I write songs
[03:46.33]
