Lyrics

Hop, skip, and a jump start
shine your love-light on my heart
oh baby, make me come alive
you’ve always been my lucky muse
now won’t you give me something I can use
just one spark and I will derive

I’m looking for a song about love
think about it in a way no one else thought of
gotta be a simple song
the kind that makes folks want to sing along
ain’t it a hell of a way to spend your time
staring at your belly button
trying to make it rhyme

But I’m up for the fight
cause ya just never know
when you might get it right
ya know that I’m, every time
I’m gonna try to make it rhyme

Got a Stetson hat from a second hand store
got an old paperback from Louis L'Amour
I’m sipping whiskey straight from the bottle
any fool can tell that I’m an old soul
in the modern world just trying to make it roll
anachronistically full throttle

Oh, now I’m looking for a cowboy tale
I’m riding my pony on the dusty trail
a city slicker in a western show
but I got a pretty good yo-delay-he-ho
ain’t it a hell of a way to spend your time
playing make believe, and trying to make it rhyme


But I’m up for the fight
cause you just never know
when you might get it right
ya know that I’m, every time
I’m gonna try to make it rhyme

I’ve been picking this guitar more than I ought a
but you can’t catch a fish unless your lines in the water
I’m the old man and the C chord
the big fish come to those who wait
but, it’s hard to know if ya got the right bait
won’t you send me a sign Lord

‘Cause I’ve been float’n round this old lake
since early in the morning, for heaven’s sake
where the hell can this all end
I’m writing a song about writing a song, again
ain’t it a hell of a way to spend your time,
trolling ‘round waiting for one more line

But I’m up for the fight
cause you just never know
when you might get it right
ya know that I’m, every time
I’m gonna try to make it rhyme
