Lyrics
Gotta Write
©2015, Kevin Drinkard
Lyin’ on the sofa, guitar in hand, another coffee stain on the floor
Waitin’ for a song, to bring to the band
The poor dog heads for the door
And I wonder, ‘bout the things that we do
Waitin’ on thunder, a crack of lightning or two
Rollin’ and a-rattlin’ like a beat up truck
The river ain’t a-flowin’, we’re ... out of luck
Things might be better if we get down and …
… we’ve all been there before
I guess I gotta write, guess I gotta write, guess I gotta
Guess I gotta write, guess I gotta write, guess I gotta
Red wine a-flowin’, it don’t do like before, there’s gotta be a key to unlock the door
Two bottles of tequila, wake up on the floor
Jack the flame from the fire, I just gotta write
And I wonder, ‘bout the things that we do
Waitin’ on thunder, a crack of lightning or two
Rollin’ and a-rattlin’ like a beat up truck
The river ain’t a-flowin’, we’re ... out of luck
Things might be better if we get down and …
... we’ve all been there before
I guess I gotta write, guess I gotta write, guess I gotta
Guess I gotta write, guess I gotta write, guess I gotta
Heading for the mountain, a song in my head, it’s spinning like a record, it’s starting to spread
When we get to the ocean, we’ll sing it out loud,
The heads will start spinning as we scream to the crowd
And I wonder, ‘bout the things that we do
Waitin’ on thunder, a crack of lightning or two
Rollin’ and a-rattlin’ like a beat up truck
The river ain’t a-flowin’, we’re shit out of luck
Things might be better if we get down and …
Fuck it, we’ve all been there before
I guess I gotta write, guess I gotta write, guess I gotta
Guess I gotta write, guess I gotta write, guess I gotta
Guess I gotta write, guess I gotta write, guess I gotta
