Tracy Lawrence - The Book You Never Read lyrics

rate me

<br>

When you were lost and needed help<br>

I hoped you would have turned to me<br>

And when you couldn't save yourself<br>

I watched you drowned that misery<br>

<br>

I've seen the damage you have done<br>

Every teardrop and misstep<br>

You know I could have saved you some<br>

I'm the book you never read<br>

<br>

Your granddaddy carried me in World War 2<br>

Your grandma swears that I am the truth<br>

Your parents hands were on me when they wed<br>

I'm like a member of the family<br>

Three generations have handed me down<br>

I'm in the drawer by your bed<br>

I'm the book you never read<br>

<br>

I can't take the first step for you<br>

But when you take that step you'll find<br>

You are the key, I am the door to<br>

Forgiveness and some peace of mind and you know<br>

<br>

Your granddaddy carried me in World War 2<br>

Your grandma swears that I am the truth<br>

Your parents hands were on me when they wed<br>

I'm like a member of the family<br>

Three generations have handed me down<br>

And despite that is all they've said<br>

I'm still the book you never read<br>

<br>

So when the world treats you unkindly<br>

And your heart is heavy with regret<br>

That's when I wish you would find me<br>

I'm the book you've never read<br>

<br>

Your granddaddy carried me in World War 2<br>

Your grandma swears that I am the truth<br>

Your parents hands were on me when they wed<br>

I'm like a member of the family<br>

Three generations have handed me down<br>

I'm in the drawer by your bed<br>

I'm still book you never read, you've never read<br>

<br>
