I'm not here to write no hit recording
And you're not there to listen to my song
I just find my writing so rewarding
When I'm feeling down, right, or alone
And I'm not here to take up all your money
And you're not there to fill my head with pride
I'm just singing songs about my honey
When she's right here sitting by my side

It's just a thing I do
I write down simple words but true
I try to hum a tune
Then let it out
Oh, then I let it out

I don't have a reason to get famous
And you don't have a need for me to be
Anything other than what I'm being
And what I am is just what you can see
I am just a poor hardworking daddy
Whose really still quite in love with his wife
I'm always singing songs about my honey
When she's right here a sitting by my side

It's just a thing I do
I write down simple words but true
I try to hum a tune
Then let it out
Oh, then I let it out

And I don't put a bridge in every song
'Cause many times I build one
Then burn it and it's gone
So I'll get back to doing what I do
Exactly what that is
I'll say it one more time to you

It's just a thing I do
I write down simple words but true
I try to hum a tune
Then let it out
Oh, then I let it out
