Give me one good reason
why I should stay

You can tell me I'm a blind ol' fool
to throw all this away.

But, give me one good reason
why I should not go...

It will help my mind pass the time
as I head on down the road.

You can't say nothing
that aint been said.

You can't make a sound
that will ever drown
out the silence in my head.

You can blame it on
some ramblin' song,
you think I'm trying to find...

But, give me one good reason...

Just give me one good line.

Give me one good reason.
Give me one good hook.

Give me one good thought
as to why I bought
this empty ol' notebook.

Give me one good reason
I should not be leaving.

I don't want to go
But we both know
You get a damn good song from grieving.

You can't say diddly
You can't say squat

Nothing you can contrive
makes me feel more alive
than when I aint got a pot.

You can blame it on
some Lost Highway song
you think I'm trying to find...

But, give me one good reason...

Just give me one good line.

That's my kind of song..excellent write.

i think my line would be something like..."because no one will ever know you like me"

"I used to worry what people thought of me, then I broke through my cacoon"
