Lyrics
Riding along on the words of a song in my head
Thinking all day of the thoughts in my mind never said
I have needed a friend, over and over again
Everyone sings of a God they have known
Now I have a God of my own
And it's better now
Been a long, long time
And it's better now
That the words can rhyme
Gotta have something to sing about
Everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about
Everyone's singing my song
Gotta have something to sing about
Everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about
Everyone's singing my song
Dreaming away, never wishing to be anyone
Never a question or reason to find right or wrong
When I looked at the end, over and over again
Riding along on the words of a song
Thinking my time had all gone
And it's better now
Been a long, long time
And it's better now
That the words can rhyme
Gotta have something to sing about
Everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about
Everyone's singing my song
Gotta have something to sing about
Everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about
Everyone's singing my song
