Songtext 100 pencils Walker Hayes

100 pencils

I wanna tell you my feelings
But I'm not good with words
Sat by a smart girl in English
And I cheated off her
But I can strum a few chords
And I learned to rhyme from George

Straight out that 'Bama blue clear sky
You roll my tide
And after a couple beers
I let you see what's inside
Well girl, I'm sober tonight
You still make me nervous
So I might not get this right

All the Hallmark cards missed the mark
And all the Walmart flowers were fallin' apart
And I know my voice ain't nothin' special
And this guitar's probably out of tune
But baby, I broke a hundred pencils
Tryin' to write this song for you
And I kinda hoped it'd make you cry
If you don't love it, you ain't gotta lie
Just know that it's yours and so am I

I didn't come from a family
That showed how we felt
I learned the art of pretending
From Bibles and belts
But you make me wanna make some kids
Instead of sense and do it different than they did

All the Hallmark cards missed the mark
And all the Walmart flowers were fallin' apart
And I know my voice ain't nothin' special
And this guitar's probably out of tune
But baby, I broke a hundred pencils
Tryin' to write this song for you
And I kinda hoped it'd make you cry
If you don't love it, you ain't gotta lie
Just know that it's yours and so am I
So am I

Love you more than I know how to
Communicate
And I will until we run out of
Valentine's days

All the Hallmark cards missed the mark
And all the Walmart flowers were fallin' apart
And I know my voice ain't nothin' special
And this guitar's probably out of tune
But baby, I broke a hundred pencils
Tryin' to write this song for you
And I kinda hoped it'd make you cry
If you don't love it, you ain't gotta lie
Just know that it's yours and so am I

Said I kinda hoped it'd make you cry
If you don't love it, you ain't gotta lie
Just know that it's yours and so am I
