  • You don't know why, you can't make it stop
    You were hooked with your daddy's hand-me-down flat top
    The first time that you made your first love cry
    And the words you wrote were running from her eyes
    Down on the paper, made you feel so alive
    So you packed up your pickup and crossed that Tennessee line

    You're always searching for a little something different to say
    And the Bible from a woman who's standing on the stage
    You get told you're fitting in, you get told you don't belong
    You drink too much in a smokey little bar downtown
    Stumble home when it's time to throw in the towel
    Wake up in the morning, look out, and the sunlight hurts
    Find your old guitar, write down another verse
    In the land of a million songs

    Oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh

    Everybody's got a story that needs to be sold
    And they pray someday they'll hang a little gold
    And ride back to their hometown with their head held high
    On any given day, there's a dream, there's a chance
    That lightning will strike at the end of a pen
    And all the leaving, and losing, will all be worth the fight

    So you're always searching for a little something different to say
    And the Bible from a woman who's standing on the stage
    You get told you're fitting in, you get told you don't belong
    You take that loan dot job just to pay the rent
    You learn a few things from them hard-working men
    You listen to 'em laugh and you listen to 'em curse
    You find your old guitar and write down another verse
    In the land of a million songs

    Some will come and some will go
    If you don't lay it all out there, you'll never know

    You're always searching for a little something different to say
    And the Bible from a woman who's standing on the stage
    You get told you're fitting in, you get told, boy, you don't belong
    You drink too much in a smokey little bar downtown
    Stumble home when it's time to throw in the towel
    Wake up in the morning, look out, and the sunlight hurts
    You find that old guitar and write down another verse
    In the land of a million songs
    Oh oh oh
    In the land of a million songs (oh oh oh) Writer/s: JEFF STEVENS, JODY SCOTT STEVENS, LUKE BRYAN
