Any Ole Reason

Mark Chesnutt · Thank God for Believers [1997]

(Roger Springer, Slugger Morrissette)



I used to come in here maybe once or twice a year

But only when I had a good excuse

I'd have one or two then be on my way

But that's way before she told me we were through.



Chorus:

Now any ol' reason will do, any ol' thing that I can use

These days, these nights, the clouds, the rain, the moon

I don't have to think about the love I live without

Or the heart she left that never will be used

Really, any ol' reason will do.



At first I told myself she'd never cross my mind

Unless I was to meet her eye to eye

And only when I felt alone would I turn her memory on

Well, I guess that means I told myself a lie.



Chorus:

Now any ol' reason will do, any ol' thing that I can use

These days, these nights, the clouds, the rain, the moon

I don't have to think about the love I live without

Or the heart she left that never will be used

Really, any ol' reason will do.

I don't have to think about the love I live without

Or the heart she left that never will be used

Really, any ol' reason will do.



Yeah, any ol' reason will do....
