Brokop Lisa - Write A Book About Me lyrics

I over heard a resent conversation They were talking about a novel they just read A fiction about tragedy and romance A trail of hope and heartache that was left It began someplace in Southern Mississippi A young bride and groom declared their sacred vows He quit school and takes a job at the Exxon They scrape up enough to buy a little house Soon enough they learn that there's a baby on the way Soon enough they learn there are bills they can't pay It can happen in anywhere in any town on any street It could be about me, write a book about me So the guy starts stressin' out and drinkin' too hard And the magic they once knew begins to fade She has to take a double shift down at the Wal-Mart She get her makeup free by selling Mary Kay She finally kicks the guy out 'till he goes and finds religion They join a Pentecostal Church and it all gets forgiven With the tears and Hallelujahs life will be what it will be This could me about me, write a book about me Now they say it's being made into a movie But they'll have to and some drama here and there But it still won't hold a candle to the real world Life on every corner, everywhere I guess we've all had hard times and no time is ever wasted Might as well be grateful for the sorrow we have tasted In the end we will all find out that we are in good company Write a book about you, write a book about me Write a book about you, write a book about me Like my friend who was the fibber back in high school She went out with Mr. Chandler, he taught band Now she runs the Piggly Wiggly down on Elm street
