The Song Lyrics

Barry Tolbert, Lookout Lane
He was white knuckling a diamond ring
And fumbling for the dome light

Sherry Lynn knows something's up
'Cause Berry ain't ever been stuck
For words like he is tonight

Since they pulled over
Her heart's been beatin' faster
Without the song, who knows
He might have never asked her

Simple words put into lines
Just a melody and rhyme
But at that moment seemed so strong

How can a piece of poetry
Knock a grown man to his knees
And lead him by the heart to where he belongs?
Then it came on, the song

Larry Pearson had a crush
One more was never enough
He'd say, "I can quit anytime"

The whole town knew his name They'd all say, "What a shame
He's wastin' away his life"

A stranger's quarter
Dropped into that corner jukebox
It's been almost two years
And guess what made him stop

Simple words put into lines
Just a melody and rhyme
But at that moment seemed so strong

How can a piece of poetry
Knock a grown man to his knees
And lead him by the heart to where he belongs?
Then it came on, the song

Simple words put into lines
Just a melody and rhyme
But at that moment seemed so strong

How can a piece of poetry
Knock a grown man to his knees
And lead him by the heart to where he belongs?
Like the song
It's more than just a song
