Some Cry Words
I like to take my time to write a line and let the words sink in
Watch them dance across the page and crawl beneath the skin
It hasn’t made me rich yet but it don’t cost me anything
Just like sweet tequila burns your mouth then frees your mind
Every song I sing I want to taste it line by line
Spit out words like broken teeth and whisper soft in three/ four time
No one knows what makes a song hit home and tear you up inside
It’s like the distance between raindrops or the warmth in someone’s smile
It’s not something that’s taught in school, you can learn to do or pick up down the years
Some cry words whilst others just talk tears
Some men write for silver, some men write for gold
Some men write because they can and some write when they’re told
I write because I want to it helps me lighten up my load
But I won’t put pen to paper unless I’ve got something to say
I once tried writing fairy tales but the truth got in the way
If you’re gonna tell it like it is guess there’s a price you have to pay
No one knows what makes a song hit home and tear you up inside
It’s like the distance between raindrops or the warmth in someone’s smile
It’s not something that’s taught in school, you can learn to do or pick up down the years
Some cry words whilst others just talk tears
So like a weary freight train broken by the rails on which it rides
I’ll sing my songs against the wind as straight as arrows fly
And if one should land in your heart then you’ll know the reason why
No one knows what makes a song hit home and tear you up inside
It’s like the distance between raindrops or the warmth in someone’s smile
It’s not something that’s taught in school, you can learn to do or pick up down the years
Some cry words whilst others just talk tears
