Like a Song

She cheated and she lied

And run around with other guys

And I knew that some day she'd do me wrong

My grandpa taught me everything

How to play and how to sing

I really didn't want to but he made me try

Grandpa could've been a big star

But he had us kids so he didn't get far

It's so crazy how fast life goes by

And he always said

I don't wanna die with regrets

Man life's a big guitar and I wanna play every fret

And I'd love to catch that midnight train

And I'd love to dance in the Georgia rain

And I'd love to live like I was dying

Like Johnny Cash I walked that line

Been a simple man, Dixie on my mind

And I wish that she, shook me all night long

Well I wish that my life was like a song

It was like a song

In '96 he passed away

I still think about him everyday

He never got to catch that midnight train

And it was then I changed my life

I had no kids, I had no wife

So I, I thought it was time to see that Georgia rain

And I said

I don't wanna die with regrets

Man life's a big guitar and I wanna play every fret

And I'd love to catch that midnight train

And I'd love to dance in the Georgia rain

And I'd love to live like I was dying

Like Johnny Cash I walked that line

Been a simple man, Dixie on my mind

And I wish that she, shook me all night long

Well I wish that my life was like a song

Oh yeah, was like a song

And every time I go out to his grave

I tell him I love him and I always say

Because of you I caught that midnight train

'Cause of you I danced in that Georgia rain

'Cause of you I live like I'm dying

And like Johnny Cash I'm walking that line

Still a simple man, Dixie on my mind

And last night she, she shook me all night long

Because of you, pop, my life is like a song

Oh yeah, it's like a song
