Lyrics
Verse]
Down in that dusty library, where the old light swings low,
Books on worn-out shelves, stories you gotta know.
Tales of heartbreak, wisdom, and lives rearranged,
It’s in those pages, buddy, your whole world could change.
[Verse 2]
Farm boy with dirt on his boots and a heart of gold,
Never cared much for readin', at least that's what he's been told.
Found a book 'bout a dreamer that hit him like a train,
Opened his eyes, now he ain't ever the same.
[Chorus]
Don't like to read, then change that, my friend,
It's the best way to grow, don't let your journey end.
Turn those pages, see the world from a new view,
In those words, you’ll find a better you.
[Verse 3]
Late nights on the porch, with a lantern and a tome,
History and legends will guide you back home.
Get lost in the lines, see where they lead,
Unlock your mind’s door, plant a knowledge seed.
[Bridge]
When life’s got you down, and hope’s runnin' dry,
A book in your hand can lift you up to the sky.
Trust the wisdom of ages, let it set you free,
In those letters and lessons, you’ll find who you can be.
[Chorus]
Don't like to read, then change that, my friend,
It's the best way to grow, don't let your journey end.
Turn those pages, see the world from a new view,
In those words, you’ll find a better you.
