SOME I WROTE
(written by Harold Reid / Don Reid)
The Statler Brothers - 1977 


Some day when it's all over
And they come to carry me
And you're walkin' slow
And wearing black
With the rest of the family 
And the choir stands to sing a song 
Make sure it's one of mine
I had a few more tunes 
I wanted to write
But I ran out of time

Some I wrote for money
Some I wrote for fun
Some I wrote and threw away
And never sang to anyone
One I wrote for Mama
And a couple still aren't through
I've lost track of all the rest
But the most I wrote for you

That day when it's all over
And you're sittin' all alone
They'll call and ask you what you want 
To have written on my stone 
Tell them when I was born and died
The year and the day
And if there's room for somethin' more
Here's what you can say

Some he wrote for money
Some he wrote for fun
Some he wrote and threw away
And never sang to anyone
One he wrote for his Mama
And never finished two or three
He lost track of all the rest
But the most he wrote for me 

Some I wrote for money
Some I wrote for fun
Some I wrote and threw away
And never sang to anyone
One I wrote for Mama
And a couple still aren't through
I've lost track of all the rest
But the most I wrote for you

Yeah, I've lost track of all the rest
But the most I wrote for you....
