One Sure Honest Line - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I found the notes to hang them on I fround a way to play with the meaning of things

And I came up with a couple good songs.

And so I oughta have an easy answer,

I oughta have some pretty things to say,

But I havent found the combination

Thatll make you change your mind and wanna stay.

So I wish I had one sure honest line to say over and over again

Sung in tune and time to a melody pure

One clear everpresent pulse in the pocket

And Im on the radio so youll know that I am yours

Listen to the laughter of the children

She scratched on the back of a bill

As we climbed past the road to the schoolhouse

On the burnt crust browning pan hill

To where they dont take sad for an answer,

A place at the corner of your heart,

Where music meets with memories,

So you can recognize the feeling from the start

How I wish I had one sure honest line to say over and over again

Sung in tune and time to a melody pure

One clear everpresent pulse in the pocket?

Im on the radio so youll know that I am yours

Theyll put us on the radio so youll know that I am yours
