This Ain't Just a Song

This ain't just a song to me
Its a hymn I heard my grandma sing
A lick I learned on bass guitar
A drunk I met at some old bar
A blink you missed at Tennessee
This ain't just a song to me
Its a windshield on a time machine
A blue chavel a girl I kissed
A love I lost a friend I missed
That town I left at 23
This ain't just a song to me

And if I'm lucky
In a movie
Make you shout hell yeah or hallelujah
And if it matters
That you heard it
All the love I poured into it will be worth it

This ain't just a song to me
Who knows what it might turn out to be
All I have is for a lonely soul
A road that takes a soldier home
Or just a chance to tap your feet.

And if I'm lucky
In a movie
Make you shout hell yeah or hallelujah
And if it matters
That you heard it
All the love I poured into it will be worth it

Oh this ain't just a song to me
Its as honest as ill ever be
And one day when I'm dead and gone
A part of me will carry on
When someone hums this melody
(This ain't just a song)
It's a part of me that carries on
(This ain't just a song to me)
This ain't just a song to me
(This ain't just a song to me)
It's a part of me that carries on and on and on
This ain't just a song...
