Chely Wright - It's The Song Lyrics
Different day, different townSet it up to tear it downOh I ain't been home in almost fifty daysHouston Baton RougePoor girl's gotta pay her duesAnd the speeder bus is always driving awayOh I love what I doBut I wonder what I do it all forBut when I sing, they sing alongI forget where I amBut I know where I belongThe reason why I'm standing hereIt's not the milesIt's not the payIt's not the showIt's not the fame that makes this homeIt's the songHer birthday was in AlabamaFather's day was in MontanaAnd on Mother's day I was nowhere near the phoneEvery hotel bed feels the sameAs the last one where I stayedAnd it's bending in my sheetAnd falling asleep aloneOh I love what I doBut I wonder what I do it all forWhen I sing, they sing alongI forget where I amBut I know where I belongThe reason why I'm standing hereIt's not the milesIt's not the payIt's not the showIt's not the fame that makes this homeIt's the songDolly and LorettaMaybe some Patsy ClineI'm so lonesome I could cryBut when I sing, they sing alongI forget where I amBut I know where I belongThe reason why I'm standing hereIt's not the rideIt's not the nameIt's not just staying in the gameIt's not the milesIt's not the payIt's not the showIt's not the fame that makes this homeIt's the songIt's the song
