Shakespeare writin' on a piece of paper
Hank Williams singin' on an old guitar
Both of them tryna find the words
In somewhere up above the stars
But I've seen it there in old love letters
Stuck to the fridge on a post-it note
Red lipstick on a bathroom mirror
Or tucked in the pocket of a Cowboys coat

Written in the sky, written in the sand
On the back of a car draggin' old tin cans
True love declared with brush and paint
Way up there on a small town water tank
Carved in an oak or tattooed on the skin
Love moves the heart
God moves the pen

Saying, "I miss you daddy" in blue Crayola
X's and O's in sidewalk chalk
I've seen "I heart Jenny" on an overpass
When the tongue is just too tired to talk

Written in the sky, written in the sand
On the back of a car draggin' old tin cans
True love declared with brush and paint
Way up there on a small town water tank
Carved in an oak or tattooed on the skin
Love moves the heart
God moves the pen

So write it in the sky, write it in the sand
On the back of a car draggin' old tin cans
True love declared with brush and paint
Way up there on a small town water tank
Carved in stone or tattooed on the skin
Love moves the heart
Love moves the heart
But God moves the pen
