Barry Tolbert, Lookout Lane 

He was white knuckling a diamond ring 

And fumbling for the dome light 

Sherry Lynn knows something's up 

'Cause Barry ain't ever been stuck 

For words like he is tonight 

Since they pulled over, her hearts been beatin' faster 

Without that song, who knows, he might have never asked her 



Simple words put into lines 

Just a melody and rhyme 

But at that moment seemed so strong 

How can a piece of poetry 

Knock a grown man to his knees 

And lead him by the heart to where he belongs 

Then it came on 

The song 



Larry Pearson had a crutch 

One more was never enough 

He'd say 'I can quit anytime' 

The whole town knew his name 

They'd all say what a shame 

He's wastin' away his life 

A strangers quarter dropped into that corner jukebox 

It's been almost two years and guess what made him stop 



Simple words put into lines 

Just a melody and rhyme 

But at that moment seemed so strong 

How can a piece of poetry 

Knock a grown man to his knees 

And lead him by the heart to where he belongs 

Then it came on 

The song 



Simple words put into lines 

Just a melody and rhyme 

But at that moment seemed so strong 

How can a piece of poetry 

Knock a grown man to his knees 

And lead him by the heart to where he belongs 

Like the song 

Its more than just a song
