Lyrics
UNFINISHED SONG
Words & music by James A. Nelson 1987
IN THE MORNING WHEN I WAKE
ALIVE AND DAMP WHILE MY FINGERS SHAKE
I WASTE MY TIME PICKING ON MY GUITAR
THE VOICES IN MY HEAD WILL START TO SCREAM
AS I TRY TO WRITE WHAT I REALLY MEAN
SOME HOW IT SEEMS THAT I?LL NEVER GO FAR
WON?T SOMEBODY HELP ME?
TELL ME WHAT I?M DOING WRONG
WON?T SOMEBODY HELP ME?
I NEED TO FINISH THIS SONG
LATER THAT DAY I?M IN THE SAME OLD SPOT
TRYING TO BE SOMETHING I?M NOT
DON?T STOP ME NOW I THINK I?M ON A ROLL
THE VOICES IN MY HEAD WILL START TO SCREAM
AS I TRY TO WRITE WHAT I REALLY MEAN
THE BRIDGES I?VE CROSSED HAVE COST ME A GREAT BIG TOLL
(CHORUS)
I TRY TO FORGET HER IT?S CRAZY I KNOW
AS I SIT FOR AWHILE WITH THE RADIO
EVERYONE HAS ALREADY WRITTEN MY TUNE
ALL THE GUYS KNOW HER BETTER THAN ME
NOW MY PROBLEM IS JUST A FADED MEMORY
THIS LYRIC I?VE GOT COULDN?T WRAP TOO SOON
WON?T SOMEBODY HELP ME?
TELL ME WHAT I?M DOING WRONG
WON?T SOMEBODY HELP ME?
I NEED TO FINISH THIS SONG
WON?T SOMEBODY HELP ME?
TELL ME WHAT?S ON MY MIND
WON?T SOMEBODY HELP ME?
AM I JUST WASTING TIME
WON?T SOMEBODY HELP ME?
I NEED TO FINISH THIS
