"Hard To Write A Love Song" lyrics

I'm tired of writing bout drinking
But I just poured a drink
Cause it helps me not to think all night about you
I'm tired of writing bout smoking
But I just rolled one up
Cause if I get high enough, I can sleep without you
Ya the chords and melodies change, but these songs all sound the same

Why does goodbye, and long night
Have to rhyme so well, oh it hurts like hell
How come lonely is the only thing this 6 string plays all night
Sads all I seem to write
But I got to get them out of my system
Nobody gonna sing along with them
You broke my heart since you been gone
It's damn hard to write a love song

Maybe the next one will be all about making up
Then again with a little luck it will be about somebody new
Either way baby I'll be through feeling the way I do

Why does goodbye, and long night
Have to rhyme so well, oh it hurts like hell
How come lonely is the only thing this 6 string plays all night
Sads all I seem to write
But I got to get them out of my system
Nobody gonna sing along with them
You broke my heart since you been gone
It's damn hard to write a love song

Ya the chords and melodies change
But these songs all sound the same

Why does goodbye, and long night
Have to rhyme so well, oh it hurts like hell
How come lonely is the only thing this 6 string plays all night
Sads all I seem to write
But I got to get them out of my system
Nobody gonna sing along with them
You broke my heart since you been gone
It's damn hard to write a love song
Write a love song
