Wrote you a love song on the back of a Bible
On the back of a Bible, a love song for you
And I ain't no authority about what it says in it
I can't even begin it
Page in the back is blank and waiting for you

Heard me a sad song on the way to a wedding
On the way to a wedding on the car radio
And I can't remember words to the verses
But I remember the chorus

And I can't remember who was marrying who
But I'm writing this love song for you

And I hate this motel room, they all smell the same
View of the parking lot etched in my brain
Stuck in this town and you're so far away

I ain't got no paper, I just got this pen
Rip out the back page and write you a hymn
Singing it to you again and again and again

Wrote you a love song on the back of a Bible
On the back of a Bible for you
Ain't no authority about what it says in it
I can't even begin it but I'm writing for you
