WHEN THE MUSIC COMES

VERSE A I was born the son of music man guitar in my hand
He taught me how to play this thing so I might understand
Music hits like lightning son words fall like rain
In that storm the music born is stronger than a hurricane

CHORUS WHEN THE MUSIC COMES there ain’t no way to deny it
It gets inside your soul and won’t let go
‘till those words and melodies play out in perfect harmony
and that song that you’ve been writing has been sung
WHEN THE MUSIC COMES

VERSE A My daddy used to tell me son
you know I hate to say goodbye
But I’m trying to make a living and a mark before I die
So please try to forgive me for leaving you this way
But understand I’m a music man and I’ve got to sing and play

CHORUS (Repeat)

BRIDGE The man they called the outlaw has been gone for quite some time, But I still feel his presence in my life
And when I came to those cross roads I asked him for advice
Follow the music son – It’s nothing but pure light

VERSE A Many a year has come and gone and now I understand
I’m on the road with a band in tow just like my old man
And music is the lifeblood that crosses through my veins
To keep it all locked up inside would drive a man insane

CHORUS (Repeat twice)
