Eternal Troubadour (Ode to Kent Finlay) Lyrics by Mark Allan Atwood

Old Scars & Sandbars

0

[Verse 1]
How would you like me to tell you a story
About a boy and girl, or a curly-haired kid?
How do you feel about real happy endings?
Would it bring you a smile if you knew what they did?
It ain't all sad songs, but it ain't all singalongs
'Cause life's a road with lots of ups and downs
And when you're starting to think that you're starting to sink
That's when I hope you'll come around
[Chorus]
And I'll sing you some stories and tell you some truth
And I might even throw in a pretty lie or two
And I'll be here when you need me, but then I'll be gone
'Cause I'm just here to sing you a song
[Verse 2]
I've made a grown man cry like a baby
And I've made a young child laugh like a fool
I was there when your mama sang you to sleep
Or when you heard your first Rolling Stones song in high school
I've always been here singing right in your ear
When you've loved and lost or danced through the night
When you're down or you're mad, or missing something that you had
Come see me and I'll make you feel alright
[Chorus]
'Cause I'll sing you some stories and tell you some truth
I might even throw in a pretty lie or two
I'll be here when you need me, but then I'll be gone
'Cause I'm just here to sing you a song
[Bridge]
I've always been around, I've never let you down
I want you to know you can count on me
And when you're all out of hope, at the end of your rope
I'll whisper to your heart that you're free
[Chorus]
And I'll sing you some stories and tell you some truth
I guarantee at least one pretty lie or two
And I'll be here when you need me, but then I'll be gone
'Cause there's someone down the street who's feeling alone
But I'll come runnin' back to you wherever you roam
'Cause I'm just here to sing you a song
I'll always be here to sing you a song
