wrote u a song by Jennifer Matthews 
Lyrics c 2006                          

I set out to write you a song 
That would get you on your feet 
That would introduce a rhythm 
And increase your heartbeat
 
I set out to write you a song 
That would carry you on home 
That way I could have you when 
The carnival’s long gone 

I set out to write you a song 
Whether it’s short whether it’s long 
That would make you turn your head 
And cry for me instead
 
I set out to write you a song 
I wrote you a song 
Tell me where you gone 

I set out on the road where St. Christopher did find 
My salvation at the five and dime 
He found it in a novel underneath a shelf aglow 
With dimming lights of wonder and the prophets whom to know 

I set out to write you a song 
I wrote you a song, hope you won’t be long 

Now I’m no saint and I wear no promise ring 
But one thing I can give you is a melody to sing 
And if you want to meet me out along the winding road 
You best know it’s your good fortune cause it’s sure a pretty host 

I set out to write you a song 
I wrote you a song, I hope it turns you on 

Oh, maybe I missed the train…maybe you’re out catching fame…maybe it’s all a bigger plan 
To get me out of Texas cause the west has left me breathless 

I set out to write you a song as the floods carry on 
And I say a little prayer for the sweet hereafter 
I leave you with a chapter, a map and a wrapper 
As I drove away I heard to crows stirring up the pasture 

I set out to write you a song, 
I wrote you a song, I’m good enough as gone
