Dr. Phil

You’re an ole country boy,
you like to say,
When guests write in
to appear on your stage.

They seek solutions,
attention, sometimes fame,
But you cut straight through
and tell it to them plain.

They bring their conflict
while searching for peace,
They carry denial,
yet hope for release.

They bring excuses,
still longing to heal,
From bitterness and burdens
too heavy to conceal.

Chorus
Put down your phones,
turn off all the noise,
For a few minutes—
be good girls and boys.
Life may feel steady,
not rocky or uphill,
But sooner or later,
we all need Dr. Phil.

They’ll beg for guidance,
but resist the truth,
They’ll be right fighters,
in spite of the proof.
Pointing fingers,
condemning their kin,
Until you ask softly,
“How’s that working out for them?”

Chorus
Put down your phones,
turn off all the noise,
For a few minutes—
be good girls and boys.
Life may feel steady,
not rocky or uphill,
But sooner or later,
we all need Dr. Phil.
