i m gonna write a song

Lynn Anderson

Folks sit around with their face in a frown and gape about the way things they are
They re happy to recieve but they hardly ever want to give
I m so tired of complaining and so in the time remaining
I m gonna do my best to make the world a better place to live
I m gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
It s gonna be about sunshine and praise every living thing
It s gonna be about love the one thing the world needs a lot more of
I m gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
[ piano - steel ]
Our fourfathers had only faith in God and they willed to make the nation strong
So the old time religion could help em find a better way
We need more soul saving and a lot more people flag waving
And there s no better time for us to start than today
I m gonna write a song...
I m gonna write a song...
