| When I was younger, the hunger came calling
|
| And humbly I answered each rising and falling
|
| I will not surrender at this wiser and tender age
|
| I turn the page
|
| And I sing for Joy
|
| For the smile that it brings, from the heart
|
| Through these guitar strings
|
| It was only noise, till her love put a song
|
| In the soul of this good ole boy
|
| I sing for Joy
|
| When I was lonely, my angel found me
|
| She sweetly and gently wrapped her arms around me
|
| And the demons that chased me, gave up and faded away
|
| Now I can sing
|
| And I sing for Joy
|
| For the smile that it brings, from the heart
|
| Through these guitar strings
|
| It was only noise, till her love put a song
|
| In the soul of this good ole boy
|
| I sing for Joy
|
| --- Instrumental ---
|
| Who could come nearer, to making life clearer
|
| The time we’re together grows dearer and dearer
|
| When I must travel and I have to leave her alone
|
| She’s in my song
|
| And I sing for Joy
|
| For the smile that it brings, from the heart
|
| Through these guitar strings
|
| It was only noise, till her love put a song
|
| In the soul of this good ole boy
|
| I sing for Joy
|
| Of her love put a song
|
| In the soul of this good ole boy
|
| I sing for Joy… |
