I Won't Write Love Songs
Sort of like one of those promises to never drink again when you're drunk, that you won't keep, and never had any intention of keeping. Just the self-bargaining that happens when you're in a certain type of mood. I've been in this type of mood before - sick of love songs. Sick of telling the stories of my heartbreaks, because there's nothing good that comes of it. Just more fodder for writing, which leads to dredging up pain that won't go away if it keeps getting brought up.

Wunschliste
I'll write 'bout the sunrise
The mountains and the trees
If at all I broach lovers
Like the birds and the bees
I'll keep it all general
Nothing quite 'bout my life
I'm tired of spilling out
What should stay inside
'Cause
(Chorus)
I won't write love songs anymore
They always remind me 'bout one single girl
I won't pick 'em, and I won't sing
I'll stare at the pad but won't pen anything
Not for love or money, all of it in the world
I won't write love songs anymore
I'll write about whiskey
Like I've done oft before
And give y'all a classic
Like David Allan Coe
Maybe a song about turtles
Rattlesnakes, my pet dog
How he's man's best friend
How he's never run off
But...
(Chorus)
Might write some 'bout Jesus
Where we got when we die
But no more about losing
Or how she makes me to cry
Maybe fishing with my buddies
The big one got away
About ramblin' and drinkin'
Half my life away
But...
(Chorus)
