The halls look different,
where the pictures used to be
In that spot right there
Used to hang my favorite memory
There’s no table in the kitchen
Just a folding chair
Our house can’t be a home
If you’re not living there
I still remember the last thing you said to me
With tears in your eyes as you turned to leave
Write me a happy song
One that makes me smile
I know there’s one in ya
Even though it’s been a while
Try to find something
That you can believe in
And write me a happy song
One that will keep me from leaving
We’ve all got demons
Mine are just easy to see
You know I fought like hell
But they had their grip on me
You know I love you more than whiskey
But you had to put that to the test
And now this house is dark and empty
But it’s probably for your best
I wish I would have turned my life around
I never knew that silence could ever be this loud
Write me a happy song
One that makes me smile
I know there’s one in ya
Even though it’s been a while
Try to find something
That you can believe in
And write me a happy song
One that will keep me from leaving
A hard pack and a butane lighter
Elijah Craig and Travis Tritt vinyl
That night in the dark I fell to my knees
Cried out to God, can you help me please
Help me write her a happy song
One that can make her smile
I know You can do it
Even though we haven’t talked in awhile
Help me find something
That I can believe in
Help me write her a happy song
One that’ll keep her from leaving
Write me a happy song
One that will keep her from leaving
