Matchbook Song
Graham Lindsey
capo IV
This ainât no love song
This ain t no organized and scripted happenstance
This ain t no ordinary radio summons straining for amends
It ainât this and it ainât that
This ain t no sideshow strip down college vomit dance
Itâs just a song
This ain t Kansas and this ain t May
This ainât the stuffing in a scarecrow wearing nothing but the rain
This ainât no cheap and dismal trick or treat di-ag-nosed in a day
It s what you want or so you say
If you need something more then Iâll be on my way
Itâs just song
So here s your posies and here s my train
Amsus2
Well I hope that we live long enough to see a better day
But this ain t forever there s no such thing
This ainât no frantic rag a-waiving for attention to my dreams
This ainât political masturbation masquerading as a theme
Ainât no psychology for a scream
It could be you or it could be me
But itâs just a song
So hereâs your hook and hereâs my line
Amsus2
I apologize I couldnât give enough to you with rhymes
Amsus2
But I promise though these words may not resound
Iâll always be here even if my heart is wrong
With just a song
Bridge
We are strangers
And there ainât no better place that we can go
This ainât no sensational and cataclysmic century show
No high-tech prophecy of doom or hope
Iâm only trying to find the right road
With just a song
So hereâs the hook and hereâs the line
Amsus2
There ainât nothing at the end but itâs sinking all the time
Amsus2
This canât be the only way back down
But itâs the only way Iâve got to reach the ground
With just a song
