Story Behind the Song
David Goins wrote his feelings down about a girl he was really nuts about. He gave these lyrics to Jim to put music to, and in five minutes, here is the results. Recorded at Big Mama's in Seymour, TN, David missed the recording session (he was supposed to play bass on it).
Lyrics
IF I COULD WRITE A SONG
(Goins/Nuchols)
If I could write a song about the way I feel inside,
the song would never end, the love would never die.
If I could tell a story of a woman I once knew,
I'd tell of the love we shared,
and the way that we both cared.
But now my love is gone,
And she may never return again.
Without her love, i know,
My life is filled with sin,
Because she's gone,
Gone from my song,
A song too long.
And I don't think
She'll be comin' home again...
If I could write a song....
