The Songwriters

We get to break out of prison

Make love to our best friends wife

Have a beer for breakfast in Boston

Drink rum in Jamaica that night

We get to tell all our secrets

In a code no one understands

We get to shoot all the bad guys

But never get blood on our hands

We're hero's, we're schemers

We're drunks and we're dreamers

We're lovers and sometimes we're fighters

We're students we're teachers

We're the devil we're preachers

We're true love but mostly one nighters

We're the songwriters

Half the world thinks we're crazy

The other half wants to be us

And the're jealous because we get to hang out

In the back of some big stars tour bus

We're old boots and tee shirts and blue jeans

We're cables and strings and E Chords

We only dress up in November

When they hand out some writers awards

We're hero's, we're schemers

We're drunks and we're dreamers

We're lovers and sometimes we're fighters

We're the truths we're the lies

We're stupid we're wise

We're true love but mostly one nighters

We're the songwriters

We ride bridges we cross em and burn em

Teach lessons but don't bother to learn em

Our mama's don't know what we're doing

Why we stay out all night long

I told mine I was a drug dealer

She said thank god you ain't writin songs

We're heros, we're schemers

We're drunks and we're dreamers

We're lovers and sometimes we're fighters

We're the truths we're the lies

We're stupid we're wise

We're true love but mostly one nighters

We're the songwriters

We're the songwriters
