That Song Writin' Man (has Wrote My Mind)

I know your head is hurtin' and you're sleepy

The night was rough and you've had too much beer

Here's an ice cold towel the coffee's perkin'

Prepare yourself for what you're 'bout to hear

Yesterday a DJ played this record

And I went downtown and bought it just for you

Don't smile at me it's not a gift I bought it to save time

That song writin' man has wrote my mind

Did you hear the way that man kept right on ramblin'

Until her patience had to draw a line

Did you hear the way she left him when he stepped across the line

That song writin' man has wrote my mind

[ guitar ]

Like you he started being late for dinner

Then wound up being late for breakfast call

Confidence will make a gambler reckless

And a crooked stack of chips will always fall

The way that woman's heart got tired of breakin'

The way she said goodbye and never cried

If I could write a song like that I wouldn't change a line

That song writin' man has wrote my mind

Did you hear the way that man kept right on ramblin'...

That song writin' man has wrote my mind
