Sing It

Six strings, seen every town

Beat up in charts full of ups and downs

My daddy gave me that 58

One strum and I was hooked

He left me some songs in this old wood

And late at night, I still hear him say

If you learn one thing before I'm gone

Your whole damn world can change

With just a little song

So, sing it from the heart like you mean it

Oh, keep playing that guitar until they feel it

And do it 'cause you love it

Maybe one day you'll get lucky

Don't you ever do it for the girls or the money

No matter where you are, whoa

Sing it from the heart

At 21, I hit the road

Some know-it-all that nobody knows

I never did call home enough

Then I missed Mom and Dad getting old

You're never ready for when they go

And now I can't go home enough

Getting on my knees, tried to write my loss

And line by line, realized what he was saying all along

Was sing it from the heart like you mean it

Oh, keep playing that guitar until they feel it

And do it 'cause you love it

Maybe one day you'll get lucky

Don't you ever do it for the girls or the money

No matter where you are, whoa

Sing it from the heart, sing it from the heart

Whoa, whoa

Do it 'cause you love it

Maybe one day you'll get lucky

Don't you ever do it for the girls or the money

And no matter where you are, whoa

Sing it from the heart
