(Gary Burr / Doug Johnson)      When I was younger, the hunger came calling   And humbly I answered each rising and falling   I will not surrender at this wiser and tender age   I turn the page.      Chorus:   And I sing for Joy   For the smile that it brings, from the heart   Through these guitar strings   It was only noise, till her love put a song   In the soul of this good ole boy   I sing for Joy.      When I was lonely, my angel found me   She sweetly and gently wrapped her arms around me   And the demons that chased me, gave up and faded away   Now I can sing.      Chorus:   And I sing for Joy   For the smile that it brings, from the heart   Through these guitar strings   It was only noise, till her love put a song   In the soul of this good ole boy   I sing for Joy.      --- Instrumental ---      Who could come nearer, to making life clearer   The time we’re together grows dearer and dearer   When I must travel and I have to leave her alone   She’s in my song.      Chorus:   And I sing for Joy   For the smile that it brings, from the heart   Through these guitar strings   It was only noise, till her love put a song   In the soul of this good ole boy   I sing for Joy.      Of her love put a song   In the soul of this good ole boy   I sing for Joy...
