Songwriter, lyric by Van Morrison

from the songs album Days Like This

I'm a songwriter and i know just where i stand
I'm a songwriter, pen and paper in my hand
Get the words on the page
Please don't call me a sage,
I'm a songwriter

I'm a songwriter and i do it for a living
I'm a songwriter and i write about men and women
I can write about love and the stars up above
I'm a songwriter

I'm a songwriter and i'm hot on your trail
I'm a songwriter and my cheque's in the mail
I can move with the scene, i can make up a dream
I'm a songwriter

Na na na nana, na na na nana

I'm a songwriter i can do it for certain
I'm a songwriter even do it when i'm hurtin'
And if it comes to the bit, have to write another hit
I'm a songwriter

I'm a songwriter i can put it in words
I'm a songwriter and it's not for the birds
I can spin you a yarn, it's as long as my arm
I'm a songwriter

Na na na nana, na na na nana
I'm a songwriter
Na na na nana, na na na nana
I'm a songwriter
