David Allan Coe — Youre the Only Song I Sing Today

I was born to sing the things I have to say Some of us are lucky enough to be that way I found a phrase in every phase of yesterday You’re the only song I sing today I tried to find the words to rhyme with everything And place it in a song that I could always sing You did not just happen, you were dreamed this way You’re the only song I sing today There’s some kind of power, somewhere out of sight That let’s a poet know it when he’s said it right Like so many I have come close a time or two But all my lines were leading me to you I remember finding you a melody Somewhere in the notes you wrote inside of me Tailored just to fit some words I had to say You’re the only song I sing today Yes, you’re the only song I sing today
