This ain't just a song to me

Its a hymn I heard my grandma sing

A lick I learned on bass guitar

A drunk I met at some old bar

A blink you missed at Tennessee

This ain't just a song to me

Its a windshield on a time machine

A blue chavel a girl I kissed

A love I lost a friend I missed

That town I left at 23

This ain't just a song to me



And if I'm lucky

In a movie

Make you shout hell yeah or hallelujah

And if it matters

That you heard it

All the love I poured into it will be worth it



This ain't just a song to me

Who knows what it might turn out to be

All I have is for a lonely soul

A road that takes a soldier home

Or just a chance to tap your feet.



And if I'm lucky

In a movie

Make you shout hell yeah or hallelujah

And if it matters

That you heard it

All the love I poured into it will be worth it



Oh this ain't just a song to me

Its as honest as ill ever be

And one day when I'm dead and gone

A part of me will carry on

When someone hums this melody

(This ain't just a song)

It's a part of me that carries on

(This ain't just a song to me)

This ain't just a song to me

(This ain't just a song to me)

It's a part of me that carries on and on and on

This ain't just a song...
