The Song - Craig Morgan

Barry Tolbert, Lookout Lane

He was white knuckling a diamond ring

And fumbling for the dome light

Sherry Lynn knows something’s up

'Cause Berry ain’t ever been stuck

For words like he is tonight

Since they pulled over, her hearts been beatin’faster

Without that song, who knows, he might have never asked her

Simple words put into lines

Just a melody and rhyme

But at that moment seemed so strong

How can a piece of poetry

Knock a grown man to his knees

And lead him by the heart to where he belongs

Then it came on The song

Larry Pearson had a crutch

One more was never enough

He’d say «I can quit anytime»

The whole town knew his name

They’d all say what a shame

He’s wastin’away his life

A strangers quarter dropped into that corner jukebox

It’s been almost two years and guess what made him stop

Simple words put into lines

Just a melody and rhyme

But at that moment seemed so strong

How can a piece of poetry

Knock a grown man to his knees

And lead him by the heart to where he belongs

Then it came on The song

Simple words put into lines

Just a melody and rhyme

But at that moment seemed so strong

How can a piece of poetry

Knock a grown man to his knees

And lead him by the heart to where he belongs

Like the song

Its more than just a song
