lyrics

I write songs
Early in the morning
After a cup of coffee
When I'm all alone
I write songs
Songs about old lovers
Songs about friends
And the roads we travel on
Some folks chase the wind
I write songs

I write songs
On a new used guitar
People seem to like 'em
Some even sing alone
I write songs
Songs about redemption
Songs about faith
And the ones who stand strong
Some folks change the world
I write songs

I can make you laugh; I can make you cry
Make you forget your troubles for a little while
I'm not a prophet, a poet, just an ordinary guy
But when life turns on a dime
I can help you say goodbye

I write songs
In a dog-eared notebook
On a napkin in a cafe
A computer or a phone
I write songs
Songs about heroes
Songs about ghosts
And the ones who don't come home
Some folks work the frontlines
I write songs

I can make you laugh; I can make you cry
Make you forget your troubles for a little while
I'm not a prophet, a poet, just an ordinary guy
But when life turns on a dime (x2)
I can help you say goodbye

I write songs

Fast forward to 2020. Sterling digs even deeper in the creative dirt for Dark Horses: The Acoustic Sessions. A sparse collection – one guitar/one voice. ... more
