I Got a Reason to Read

I Got a Reason to Read is a song performed by Patty Loveless and Buddy Jewell.

Version 1

 * I got a reason.
 * I got a reason.
 * Got a good reason to read!


 * When I feel like a story, I can just open a book.
 * When I want Mama's biscuits, her recipe's great to cook.
 * We followed your directions, to find our way to the show.
 * And reading tells me facts, that I've been dying to know!


 * I got a reason.
 * I got a reason.
 * Got a good reason to read!
 * I got a reason.
 * I got a reason.
 * Got a good reason to read!


 * I read my sister's postcard, she wrote, "I miss you all a lot!".
 * I sometimes read the words, when there's a song I forgot.
 * I wrote myself a message, I got it here in my coat.
 * And it's so swell that I know how to read what I wrote!


 * I got a reason.
 * I got a reason.
 * Got a good reason to read!
 * I got a reason.
 * I got a reason.
 * Got a good reason to read!
