lyrics

v1
truth is my momma loves to hear the guitar
and plus her daddy made a band
He toured all around the country
Seemed to be quite the music man
I'm not much of a player but I try to learn as best I can
If God gave me a different gift I'll try to understand his plan

v2
I learned the uke and the piano
I learned the violin too
I didn't get very far
Cuz I had other things to do
My momma said my doodles were the bestest when she saw what I drew
Then I got to thinking I could probably be professional too

(interlude)

v3
She's sitting staring at her canvas
Wondering what she should draw
She paints a smoldering sunset
Holds her Father in awe
Cuz every scene that she would render
Was a carbon copy of what she saw
I said that every scene that she would render was a carbon copy of what she saw

v4
She doesn't play the guitar much
Her singing is sometimes off key
But she maneuvers those sketch tools
Like waves that toss a ship at sea
I tell you she's not a composer but her pictures sound a symphony
I tell you she's not a musician but her pictures sing so beautifully
