Did you ever just feel like a movie
Or a book or story in song?
Or did you hear some words for the first time today
And find yourself hurting alone?

When the lyrics start telling your story
And Shakespeare starts writing the play
Then those well chosen words by some
Old country verse held all your defenses away

Well, I thought I was over that story
I thought I'd forgotten that song
But old songs were new songs
For fools all alone

And we'll all come around
And we all will be found
Caught in the act of crying alone
Trapped in an old country song

But old songs were new songs
For fools all along

And we'll all come around
In that old country sound
Caught in the act of crying alone
Trapped in an old country song
