What an Old Song can Do
Cover band playin' our song, man, why they gotta do me like that?
I'm throwin' out lots of jokes, fishin' for some pity laughs
Random words to hide the pain, drown out your line, avoid memory lane
Funny how it took one note and you know how it goes
Pounding head and a heart 'bout to break
But I guess they know there's a guy who's barely hangin' on
And they practiced Conway Twitty just to break down his heart of stone
It's like they know every line had its own backstory
Of when you were mine and swore you always would be
And I still had a reason to believe it's true
Yeah that's what this old song can do
I'd already changed the presets in my truck
Broke down and tore those CDs up
That your burnt and titled, "for my love"
Man, don't they know enough's enough
'Cause love is never what it was
But I guess they know there's a guy who's barely hangin' on
And they practiced that ole Patsy just to break down his heart of stone
It's like they know every line had its own backstory
Of when you were mine and swore you always would be
And I still had a reason to believe it's true
Yeah, that's what this old song can do
It's like they want me back in that moment
When you were mine and we had no care
Just let the music do the talkin'
The rest of the world would disappear
But now I'm searching for an exit
Prayin' that God will make it in
I guess I might as well try to accept that we'll never be that way again
But I guess they know there's a guy who's barely hangin' on
And they practiced, Conway Twitty just to break down his heart of stone
It's like they know every line had its own backstory
Of when you were mine and swore you always would be
And I still had a reason to believe it's true
Yeah, that's what this old song can do
