A Talk Just To Talk
James Groseclose 1983 (United States)
Hows the day going?
Whats with the weather?
It aint so bad
It'll get better
Hows the family?
Hows the ole truck run?
At the end of the day
It still gets it done
Maybe its about nothing
Maybe its about life
Maybe its just a few words
Just to pass the time
Maybe its needed
Maybe theres nothing wrong
But its a talk just to talk
Just to keep going on
It aint gotta be direct
That aint easy to do
To open up like that
After what you've been through
But sometimes its needed
Even if its about nothing
You know that your not alone
And thats more than something
Maybe its about nothing
Maybe its about life
Maybe its just a few words
Just to pass the time
Maybe its needed
Maybe theres nothing wrong
But its a talk just to talk
Just to keep going on
Hows your day?
How bout this weather?
Hows things going?
How can i help to make it better
Lets sit and talk
About whatever you want
I aint leaving here
You wont see me gone
Maybe its about nothing
Maybe its about life
Maybe its comforting words
To help make it through rough times
Maybe its needed
Maybe theres something wrong
But its a talk just to talk
To help keep going on
Just a talk to talk
It's been needed all along
Just a talk to talk
To keep us going on
