Wayd Battle - That's Why I Write Songs lyrics

[Verse 1] Have you fell in love, or you threw it away You're lookin' for that perfect thing to say And you're no good with words, well, that's okay That's why I write songs [Verse 2] It might make you laugh, or make you cry Might help you make it through a bad goodbye 'Cause you've been through it, and so have I An' that's why I write songs [Chorus] I remember all the times I felt Like somebody knows me all too well 'Cause it was my life story, I was listenin' to I don't know about you [Verse 3] But I've buried family, and a few good friends And held a brand new baby in my hands You see it ain't just what I do, it's who I am And that's why I write songs [Chorus] I remember how it blew my mind When I played a song and watched a grown man cry It was at that moment, when I just knew What I was born to do [Verse 4] An' you know most songwriters, they don't ever get any fame And hell most people don't even recognize their names But chances are, you've probably sang along [Verse 5] To Harlan Howard, Bob McDill Whitey Shafer, or my friend Whisperin' Bill All the songs they wrote, they gave us chills That's why I write songs [Outro] Don't forget Hank Cochran
