Turn Me Loose

Sometimes you hear them, sometimes you don't Sometimes that love letter that you wrote Comes out sounding more like a joke But it's at that point when I decide That I need to change what's inside Seek to find and get back to a place where we all started from Sometimes, I get a little tired Between the repetition of chucking wood Just to keep someone else's fire hot If I could just put down that ax let it be Live inside my own melody Some might find it strange, but they won't be at your grave Just turn me loose on the road, singing songs with my friends Fill my glass up to the top, don't know if I'll be back here again I'll stay until closing time Then after hours sleep ain't worth a dime That's where melodies turn to songs Sometimes, I find myself alone Then I'll close my eyes And let old memories come and flood my mind Then I'll pick a few in three quarter time Think about those big ol' skies Maybe up in Montana or Louisiana That's about when I get that feeling again So turn me loose on the road, singing songs with my friends Fill my glass up to the top, don't know if I'll be back here again I'll stay until closing time, then after hours it ain't worth a dime That's where melodies turn to songs And sometimes, when I can't go on I'll just turn back to the words last time I said that I was through Then I pick myself up, tune my strings up Remember how good it feels To sing a song at 3am next to a fire under the moon So just turn me loose on the road, singing songs with my friends Fill my glass up to the top, don't know if I'll be back here again I'll stay until closing time Then after hours sleep ain't worth a dime That's where melodies turn to songs Just turn me loose on the road, singing songs with my friends Fill my glass up to the top, don't know if I'll be back here again I'll stay until closing time Then after hours sleep ain't worth a dime That's where melodies turn to songs I'm telling you it's a full time job Just turning all the melodies into songs
