Man, where do I start with this country legend? He has pumped out so many classics that touch my soul, I can only begin to give you a glimpse of pure genius!
Here is one of his best:
You know, some call me a poet
"He has a way with words" they say.
Well, why then, when I try to tell you the way I feel,
Do all the words just slip away?
Or they come out sounding like the dialogue from a Clark Gable movie
Or they come out sounding like the dialogue from a Clark Gable movie
"Well frankly my dear".
Damn.
I just have so much inside,
I want you to know about
And it all means thatI love you.
So what can I say.
You bring a tear to the poet's eye
and you are the rhyme I could not write
And you are love, when the words slip away.
I love you, what can I say?
I love you, what can I say?
You see sometimes, words just aren't enough
What is the word for that funny little shaky feeling inside?
That numb, warm wonderful confusion when you touch me?
A poet? No. I'm not a poet.
But if I were,
and I had every word in the world at my command
My poem would still be.......
I love you.
I love you.
What can I say?

You didn't say who this is?
Sorry, I failed to mention this is the one and only Jerry Reed!
Any guy who can write the theme song from Smokey and the Bandit can't be too bad...
