Poets & Old Souls

I can string some words together, make 'em pretty and make 'em rhyme There's some hard miles on my heart, chasin' this crazy dream of mine Left everyone I love, hurt everyone I know It's a lonely road for poets and old souls You take your pain, you write it down You sing your songs, word slowly gets around And there's some that think it's easy, I'm here to tell you it just ain't so It's a lonely road for poets and old souls Well, this old guitar's seen me at my whiskey-bottom worst And lookin' back on, it's a wonder I didn't wind up in a hearse You see the part of me that shines, but there's a lot that you don't know It's a lonely road for poets and old souls You take your pain, you write it down You sing your songs, word slowly gets around Well, there's some that think it's easy, I'm here to tell you it just ain't so It's a lonely road for poets and old souls You take your pain, you write it down Been ten years, word's finally gettin' 'round There's some that think it's easy, I'm here to tell you it just ain't so It's a lonely road for poets and old souls If you come in thinkin' it's easy, I'm here to tell you it just ain't so It's a lonely road for poets and old souls
