I Sing For Joy

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

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

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
'Cause her love put a song
In the soul of this good ole boy, I sing for joy
