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