Linda kept him from despair
But he never wrote a song for Linda
And he left a note for Linda by the door, by the door
So he hitched a ride and he road away
Inventing worlds he never known
Then she changed her number and she turned her head
And she was right there all along
When the bills piled up couldn't pay
Loved him back to life when his luck ran low
And she was right there all along
He nearly broke his heart at writing
And he never wrote a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
When times got rough he'd phone her
He wrote of dreams that end of sad brave men
All he knows, is no one understands
But he hardly seemed to see her there
And Linda never looked back at all
But he never wrote a Linda song
He'll never write a song for Linda
And he never wrote a Linda song
The one real thing in his crazy world
And he never wrote a Linda song
Once or twice she took the call
He couldn't dream no more
Standing by his side, through the hungry days
