THE GREATEST SONG

By David and Gayle Snyder


V1

Wish I could be a Leprechaun
Or just a fairy queen
So I could sing
All of the truth
That is inside of me
I wish that I could spread my wings
Fly over fjords and streams
And finally find my magic place
I will at last be free


(Chorus)

And sing the song of hope and joy
That I was meant to sing
With every voice inside of me
Just longing to be Free
And someday you'll see me on TV
And they will be clapping
And showing love to me
And showing love to me!

(Verse 2)

Wish I could ride a mighty steed
Over river beds and seas
I would name that horse Pegasus
A wonder to be seen!
Most people just want something
But not me!
I want to be a King
Be a King!!! 


(Chorus)

And sing the song of hope and joy
That I was meant to sing
With every voice inside of me
Just longing to be Free
And someday you'll see me on TV
And they will be clapping
And showing love to me
And showing love to me!

(Is she singing Icelandic???)

THE GREATEST SONG

A Walking Country Song
By David Snyder

V1

Throwin’ chairs off of a Nashville roof
Cause I’m drinkin’ little 100 proof
You know I’m grinning in a baseball cap
I wear it backwards cause you like it like that
Cause I ain’t classy but it’s how I roll
I’m the one they never could control


CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song

V2

Got a mullet in my mugshot yo
I’ll post some bail and then I’ll skip parole
I’m wearing handcuffs but I’m breaking  loose
Then I’m gonna love you while I’m wearing my boots
Sometimes it seems like I can do no wrong
No matter what I do they always sing along

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song


Bridge

Yeah I drink too much
Yeah I talk too much
But girl you’re so damn smokin’
That you’re hot to the touch

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song


V3

I was caught buck naked but I'm not in jail
I was caught buck naked and I'm raising hell
And I was born spoiled rotten
If you can't tell

CH

Ah girl I’m gonna make it
Take every heart and break it
Just as long as they can take it, I’m stayin’ strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song

Outro

And I can write a hit
Write it like this
And every song sounds the same
But I’m staying strong
Cause girl I was born a walking country song
Cause girl I was born a walking country song
Cause girl I was born a walking country song
