You Can Learn A Lot From A Song (single)

Mama said that she could always tell just how I was feeling
When I grabbed that old guitar and picked out a line or two
But I guess guitars and mamas have that special way of knowing
One brings you in the world
The other helps you make it through

Sometimes their words will move you other times they cut right through you
While some make you so happy you can't help but sing along
Some help you say (oooooohh) goodbye to loved ones as they move beyond that setting sun
You can learn a lot from a song
You know you can learn a lot from a song

Each melody is someone's misery it can leave you cold and empty
If you're searching for the answers or just trying to find your way
While others resonate the stories of salvation faith and glory
Of eternal life delivered on that resurrection day

Sometimes their words will move you other times they cut right through you
While some make you so happy you can't help but sing along
Some help you say (oooooohh) goodbye to loved ones as they move beyond that setting sun
You can learn a lot from a song
You know you can learn a lot from a song

A piece of life and love and labor jotted down with pen and paper
It don't matter if it's good or bad someone will sing along
It's a lesson for the taking cause my friend there's no mistaking
That you can learn a lot from a song you can learn a lot from a song
Yeah you can learn a lot from a song
