I live just outside of Nashville and write country, country/rock, and novelty songs. Thanks for listening.
Lyrics
"This Is A Song"
(©2010 Bob Beckley/Rick Leathers)
(Chorus):
This is a song about writing a song
With a sing-along chorus, it's hard to go wrong
Don't make 'em look everywhere for the hook
This is a song, not a book
The first line should reach out and pull 'em right in
You paint 'em a picture, that's how you begin
Write from your heart, not from your brain
Then lead them right to the refrain
(Chorus):
This is a song about writing a song
With a sing-along chorus, it's hard to go wrong
Don't make 'em look everywhere for the hook
This is a song, not a book
The next verse develops what's gone on before
It leads to new places and opens new doors
Use the last couplet to tie up loose ends
And ramp to the chorus again
(Chorus):
This is a song about writing a song
With a sing-along chorus, it's hard to go wrong
Don't make 'em look everywhere for the hook
This is a song, not a book
(Bridge):
Bridges can sum up the gist of your tune
Or just add a new point of view
(Chorus):
This is a song about writing a song
With a sing-along chorus, it's hard to go wrong
Don't make 'em look everywhere for the hook
This is a song, not a book
Don't make 'em look everywhere for the hook
This is a song, not a book
