lyrics

When you hear a song in your new friend's room
Does it start on a chord that sounds minor to you?
That's how you tell it's an important song

When you hear a song in your girlfriend's room
Does it mention a president or Sultans of Swing?
That's how you tell that the songwriter's deep

When you hear a song on the satellite
Does the singer sing lyrics you never saw coming?
That's how you tell it's a brilliant song

I'm your creator of folk songs, it's my job to know

When you see a man on the TV screen
Does he dress real sharp, is his tie real blue?
That's how you tell that the man is someone you can trust

When you see his wife on the TV screen
Does she say all the same things he says only softer?
That's how you tell he's an honest man

When you see the man at the podium
Does he say, "let me tell you what happened and when?"
Then you've been given the facts of the case

I'm your creator of folk songs, it's my job to know

When you come to my show, pay attention to
All of the banter between all the verses and choruses,
That's how you stay up on current events

If I go out on tour and I never come back
Don't be scared, you can listen to bootlegs
You got off the Interwebs
They'll tell you what to do (next)
When you fall in love, really fall in love
If you're feeling rejected, just keep trying harder
Your love is special, it's destined to be

When you fall in love, if it's really love
Everything will work out!
Don't believe me? Just check out the movies or sitcoms
Or beer ads for proof

I'm your creator of folk songs, it's my job to know

ER

Less country than Robbie Fulks, less rock-and-roll than Steve Poltz, less uninhibited than Rhett Miller, less political than Billy Bragg, less fastidious than Josh Ritter... something for every clever song lover!
