Say What I Feel
This is a simple song about feelin'
You probably heard the story about the cog in the wheel
It’s a little piecemeal, but I wrote it in a Nashville motel
And you never can tell
When the feeling's gonna hit you right smack in the belly
You write so fast, you forget about the spellin'
When it’s all in the tellin', you forget about the technical side
And here's the punchline

I want to say what I feel
Just want to find the woman that's real
Don't want to play, let's make a deal
Just want to say what I feel

This is a simple song about sunshine
And lookin' at the world and wonderin' if she’s mine
I feel pretty fine, but I can’t feel it all of the time
And I would not mind
Oh, if I could have a taste of my own rainbow
I'd go down the line and watch that train roll
On down the line and leave that woman behind
Speak my mind

’Cause when I say what I feel
Just want to find a song that's real
Don't want to play, let's make a deal
Just want something nobody can steal
Don’t want to play, let's make a deal
Just want to say what I feel
