Book You Never Read
Tracy Lawrence

You were lost and needed help

I hoped that you would turn to me

And when you couldn't save yourself

I watched you drown your misery

I see the damage that you've done

Every tear drop and misstep

You know I could have saved you, son

I'm the book you never read

Your grandaddy carried me in World War II

Your grandma swears that I'm the truth

Your parents hands were on me when they wed

I'm like a member of the family

Three generations, you've handed me down

I'm in the drawer by your bed

I'm the book you never read

I can't take that first step for you

When you take that step, you'll find

You are the key, and I'm the door to

Forgiveness and some peace of mind

You know, Grandaddy carried me in World War II

Your grandma swears that I'm the truth

Your parents hands were on me when they wed

I'm like a member of the family

Three generations, you've handed me down

And despite all they've said,

I'm still the book you never read

When the world treats you unkindly

And your heart's heavy with regret

That's when I wish you would find me

I'm the book you never read

Your grandaddy carried me in World War II

Your grandma swears that I'm the truth

Your parents hands were on me when they wed

I'm like a member of the family

Three generations, you've handed me down

I'm in the drawer by your bed

Still the book you never read

Still never read
