He whacks his brain trying to write a song. So far all his writing has turned out wrong. No fame has come his way, and all is a blunder. He would be happy with a one-hit-wonder. Co-written by Tom Mercer & Clare Steffen, performed & produced by Tom Mercer.

Lyrics

Verse 1

I whack my brain trying to write me a song

So far all my writing has turned out wrong

No fame has come my way, all is a blunder

I would be happy with a one-hit-wonder

Verse 2

Famous people are writing songs we all know

It seems for now I have nothing to show

Perhaps I might have lost that magic touch

Or I could be expecting way too much

Bridge

I would be happy with a one-hit-wonder

Chorus

Everybody’s got one they think is a hit

I need one good song to know I’ve made it

On the radio, TV, or maybe in Nashville

I’ll make enough money to pay my bills

I believe in my dreams and the spell I'm under

Hoping I can write that one-hit-wonder

Verse 3

I'm sure hoping, for once I'll get it right

I keep on writing, night after night

I still feel like somewhat of an amateur

But, I do know one thing that is for sure

Chorus

Everybody’s got one they think is a hit

I need one good song to know I’ve made it

On the radio, TV, or maybe in Nashville

I’ll make enough money to pay my bills

I believe in my dreams and the spell I'm under

Hoping I can write that one-hit-wonder

Outro

I would be happy with a one-hit wonder

Chasing down that one-hit-wonder

I sure would be happy with a one-hit-wonder
