Sing Your Own Song

Scott McCaughey, John Wesley Harding

[Verse 1]
Long ago I had a dream
A man came up to me
Gave me paper and a pen
And a cast-iron guarantee
He said "Write six words, make the next line rhyme
And learn four basic chords
When you've got the third line, well, in next to no time
You'll be wanting more"

[Verse 2]
I didn't wanna know about a quid pro quo
Or why he was picking on me
I guess he didn't know that I was tired of school
And bored of poetry
So I played along, stifled a yawn
Perhaps he was wrong in the head
And when I woke, I found a note
And this is what it said

[Chorus]
You can write your own words
You can sing your own song
And it doesn't really matter if you're out of tune
Or if no one sings along
You can write your own words
You can make your own rules
And it doesn't really matter how cool you are
Or what grades you got at school
When you sing your own song

[Bridge]
So I took the advice, and suffice it to say
That the rest is mystery
And if anyone out there's nervous or scared
I suggest you listen to me

[Chorus]
You can write your own words
You can sing your own song
And it doesn't really matter if you're out of tune
Or if no one sings along
'Cause if you do what you like
And you like what you do
Then someone somewhere knows you're there
And the world may come to you
When you sing your own song

[Verse 3]
Now I'm married and I have two kids
And we sing songs all the time
My four-year-old just makes them up
Sometimes with explanatory mime
And no one's told her that it’s difficult yet
That isn't in her head
So we sing her song all evening long
And right until it’s time for bed

[Chorus]
You can write your own words (Write your own words)
You can sing your own song (Sing your own song)
And it doesn't really matter if you're out of tune
Or if no one sings along
'Cause if you do what you like (Do what you like)
And you like what you do (Like what you do)
Then someone somewhere knows you're there
And the world may come to you

[Outro]
You can write your own words (Write your own words)
You can sing your own song (Sing your own song)
(It doesn't really matter) It doesn't really matter
You can write your own words (Write your own words)
You can sing your own song (Sing your own song)
And it doesn't really matter, doesn't really matter
Doesn't really matter (It doesn't really matter at all)
