Have you ever run into a chart and instead of chords, they write Roman numerals? And worse yet — do you wonder what the heck those things mean?
Some call it “The Nashville System” — although the Roman Empire is slightly older than the Grand Ole Opry.
You can get a guide to how the Roman Numeral System relates to the major scale at Lessons @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

The term “Doctor” is horribly over-used.
There are people in every field — Dr. Dre is a rapper, Dr. Laura is a physiologist who took a minor course in marriage counseling, Dr. Phil started out as an owner of workout gyms and picking juries for lawyers.
I lived in Oklahoma where every other person had a doctorate from some unaccredited bible college as a Doctor of Divinity (money-begging preacher).
So what about music?
Doc Pomus wasn’t a doctor — but he sure could write a great song (Save The Last Dance For Me; Viva Las Vegas)
“Doctor doctor give me the news, I got a bad case of lovin’ you!”
“I don’t need no doctor, ’cause I know what’s ailin’ me.”
… and I will leave you with the words of the wise old Witch Doctor —
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang

John Lennon was asked, “What do you write songs about?”
And he answered, “Whatever annoys you.” (From what I’ve read, John probably used a stronger word than “annoy.”)
I recommend checking in on Corey Stewart Songwriting Tips regularly. A recent posting there says, “To be a songwriter you need to have the mindset of one. Always be on the lookout for an idea.”
You can check out some methods of determining the subject of your next song, and how to always have a “next song.”
