You Put the Soul in the Song
Waylon Jennings · The Complete Mca Recordings [MCA] [2004]
(Don Goodman - Tim Gaetano - J.B. Detterline)
We started with nothing but each other and reached for the stars
From a one room apartment with a dream and a pawnshop guitar
God gave the talent but you found the will to survive
In this city of songs where dreamers are eaten alive.
I made the music but you make the man
When I'd stumble and lose it baby you'd understand
When I was tempted to give up your strength made me strong
I make the music but you put the soul in the song.
--- Instrumental ---
When I look at you girl I see a true work of art
So many beautiful things in one little heart
Every word I ever wrote and every note that I ever sung
You never stop believing that's where the feeling comes from.
I made the music but you make the man
When I'd stumble and lose it baby you'd understand
When I was tempted to give up your strength made me strong
I make the music but you put the soul in the song...
