song a day - bob dylan lyrics

[verse 1]
i watched timothee chalamet
as bob dylan sing and play
all the songs that made me wanna write
12 years old in vermont
writing songs is all i’d ever want to do

[pre+chorus]
and i watched him sing to woody
just like i always imagined i would sing to him
some perfect little song on his dying bed
that i could bring to him

[chorus]
so i could be like him
so i could be like him
oh, me, and about a million other people, too
showing up in his hospital room
hoping somehow i am the one

[verse 2]
oh, but this year i will turn 43
seems clear it isn’t me
maybe it was springsteen or maybe dan burn
but when i hear those songs, eddie roll
my heart’s up in my throat
and i have to try
[verse 3]
it’s the last day of the year
so i write another song and i play you it
that is 16 years, 365 days of this
and here i sit, here i sit
and tomorrow i will wake up
i will make the kids better breakfast

[verse 4]
and at some point, as the world spins round
i will pick this guitar up
and i will sit down
and i’ll think about bob and woody
and pete seeger and johnny cash
and lou reed and stephen merritt
and jonathan richmond
as i write the first song of my 17th year
of writing a song every day
because that is why i’m here on earth (mmh+hmm)
