Guy Clark - Somedays You Write The Song

It's just one of those days you can't explain
When nothing's right or wrong
Too much wine or not enough
So you just play along.
There's no rhyme or reason
Ain't a damn thing you can do
Some days you write the song
Some days the song writes you.

Your sure voice and melody
Will sing my soul to sleep
Reaching for some harmony
Deep inside of me
Some days you know just how it goes
Some days you have no clue.
Some days you write the song
Some days the song writes you.

You can fall
You can fly
Get low down or get high
You can try or just leave it alone.
You can search for the way
You can curse, you can pray
But the words have a way of their own.

It don't matter how much it hurts
You've got to tell the truth.
Some days you write the song
Some days the song writes you.

Now you may think I just made this up
But I would not lie, that's true
Some days you write the song
