Song For Uncle Curt

[Verse 1:] I hate to write this song I never wanted to But after all, Curt writin' songs is what I do Right now the paper's staring at me, cold and blank Defying me to even try express my thanks [Chorus:] But this song is for you uncle Curt You never were my uncle, ain't that strange? This song is for you uncle Curt A name is just a name, is just a name, is just a name [Verse 2:] They called and said that you had bought your final's rout You gave me hell right to the end and I was proud I know, some friends have wanted you to beg for life But I knew, you'd live long enough to learn to die [Chorus:] This song is for you uncle Curt You never were my uncle, ain't that strange? This song is for you uncle Curt A name is just a name, is just a name, is just a name [Verse 3:] I'm living down in Nashville now and writin' tunes The neighborhood is full of trees and good saloons I just got back from California on a plane Everything is different but it's just the same [Chorus:] And this song is for you uncle Curt You never were my uncle, ain't that strange? This song is for you uncle Curt A name is just a name, is just a name, is just a name[x2]
