Writing with one of my favorite songwriters
A couple of times now I have had the opportunity to write with a favorite songwriter of mine (a different one each time). The song was my idea, and I got a couple of lines in myself. Amazing to watch a master songwriter weave his magic on an idea of mine. We wrote this over two years ago, but it wasn't until a week or so ago that I was finally able to play it and give it my own interpretation. I had to, because I'm heading to Nashville next month to start recording my third album.
Can’t Write That Song (David Pennybaker / Scott Sean White) I hear all these songs / ‘Bout folks who just can’t wait To get out of some small-town / God-forsaken place But when I pick up my guitar / Start writin’ somethin’ down That ain’t what comes out ‘Cause I’ve lived here all my life / Leavin’s never crossed my mind You gotta write what you know / The truth is I don’t Know nothin’ / ‘Bout up and gettin’ gone So, I can’t write that song Seems like every time / I turn on my radio Somebody’s one-night-standin’ / Someone they barely know Somebody’s givin’ up / Walkin’ out on their forever No one stays together But me, I’ve loved you all my life / Leavin’s never crossed my mind You gotta write what you know / The truth is I don’t Know nothin’ / ‘Bout up and gettin’ gone So, I can’t write that song Maybe I don’t fit in at all / But I’m right where I belong ‘Cause I’ve lived here And I’ve loved you all my life / Leavin’s never crossed my mind You gotta write what you know / The truth is I don’t Know nothin’ / ‘Bout up and gettin’ gone I thank God / I can’t write that song Can’t write that song |
