A Song To Move Me

She said “Can you write a song to move me?”
Full of emotion that might make me cry.
Can you tell me a story of true lover’s passion?
And maybe a song of true love that dies.”

He said “I’m just looking for a song to move me
out of this old shack to a home in the pines.
But if it’s gonna sell or be in a movie
it needs some clichés and good rhyming lines.”

If a song can move you
one way or the other
it just might be worth the ink that you write
if it fattens your wallet or saddens another
a song it can’t kiss you in the middle of the night

He said “Now I got a whole lot of money
but she sees right though a commercial mind.
Now I just wish that a song could move me
back to her old shack where we used to smile.”

If a song can move you
one way or the other
it just might be worth the ink that you write
if it fattens your wallet or saddens another
a song it can’t kiss you in the middle of the night

You know I still hope that a song can move me
to a better existence with more peace of mind
and if I’m driven to tears in a brand new Ferrari
I guess I’ll pull over and let that girl drive

If a song can move you
one way or the other
it just might be worth the ink that you write
if it fattens your wallet or saddens another
