From the recording The Flip Side: Well, what do we have here!
The Songwriter shares one of the ways we write songs. Some come from hard work and others, as described in this song, just drop in our laps if we are open to them. This one is also a really fun sing-along song.
Lyrics
The Songwriter
by Karen Robinson
I’ve been a lot of places. I’ve done a lot of things.
I’ve put some smiles on the faces, writing songs I like to sing.
But I can’t help revealin’ that my head starts to reelin’
When I feel a new song comin’ on.
Chorus
And I yell… I feel a song comin’ on! (Stop the car!)
I feel a song comin’ on! (Where’s my guitar?!)
Makes no difference where I am or who you are
When I feel a song comin’ on.
My sweetheart has been threatening to leave me in the dust
He’s pretty much done askin’, “Honey…What about US?”
He paid a bundle for this trip, but in our room I sit
‘Cause I feel a new song comin’ on.
Chorus
And I yell…. I feel a song comin’ on! (Stop the train!)
I feel a song comin’ on! (Save that refrain!)
Makes no difference where I am or who you are
When I feel a song comin’ on.
It got so bad I thought that maybe I should see a shrink
Filled with hope, I asked, “Doc, can you fix me, do you think?”
Just then his eyes glazed over, and he opened up his folder
“Cause he felt a song comin’ on!
Chorus
And he yelled… I feel a song comin’ on! (SOS!)
I feel a song comin’ on! (I am possessed!)
Makes no difference where I am or who you are
When I feel a song…
Oh I feel a song comin’ oh
I feel a song comin’ on
