A Song Was Born

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Haggard on a houseboat, tryin' not to sink Wonderin' if he oughta float back or just stay here and drink He found a guitar 'fore he found that Shasta shore And a song wasborn [Verse 2] Willieonan airplane, brownbag and apen Flyin' high thinking 'bout being on the road again Tried her out on a crowd down at John T. Floore's A song was born [Chorus] Outta real life, outta real love The best ones you can't make up It just means more when you've been there before Outta hard times, outta heartbreaks Hitch a good rhyme to a mistake Then you pour those feelings out over three chords A song was born [Verse 3] I've wrote 'em in the Carolina mountains, on a Cabo beach In a thousand rooms in Nashville, Tennessee On a Bitterroot River, Montana back porch A song was born [Chorus] Outta real life, outta real love The best ones you can't make up It just means more when you've been there before Outta hard times, outta heartbreaks Hitch a good rhyme to a mistake Then you pour those feelings out over three chords A song was born [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Outta real life, outta real love The best ones you can't make up It just means more when you've been there before Outta hard times, outta heartbreaks Hitch a good rhyme to a mistake Then you pour those feelings out over three chords Then you pour those feelings out over three chords A song was born [Outro] A song was born
