Sad Songs

music & lyrics by Sherman Tabor

Summer slipped by in shades of blue

Midnight bars and hotel rooms with you

Held my breath when the nights got long

Same songs, but they're singing something new

Quite a long way from home now

'Til you I was OK being alone

So put those cheap sunglasses on

And we'll drive 'til the sunset meets the road

We're going home

She's smooth like red wine

Strong like whiskey

And she's been on my mind

Since the day she kissed me

I found what I've been looking for

So I'm never gonna let you go

'Cause I want to be the one

You call when you're missing home

And baby, all I ask is

I'd be the last one

'Cause I've been running too long

And I ain't playing no games no more

I guess I've got a thing for Irish girls

Who hide their hearts behind golden curls

And I guess you've got a thing for guys who say too much

And promise you the world

And I ain't got another ace to play

But you never had much of a poker face

So I watch your highest walls come down

Your rain clouds drifting far away

Smooth like red wine

Strong like whiskey

And she's been on my mind

Since the day she kissed me

I found what I've been looking for

So I'm never gonna let you go

'Cause I want to be the one

You call when you're missing home

And baby, all I ask is

I'd be the last one

'Cause I've been running too long

And I ain't playing no games no more

And the first time was the last time walking out that door

And the rain pours, but I'm with you staying dry and warm

And sad songs, they don't make me sad no more

And the first time was the last time walking out that door

And the rain pours, but I'm with you staying dry and warm

And sad songs, they don't make, they don't make me sad no more

I found what I've been looking for

So I'm never gonna let you go

'Cause I want to be the one

You call when you're missing home

And baby, all I ask is

I'd be the last one

'Cause I've been running too long

Oh, and I ain't playing no games no more

And the first time was the last time walking out that door

And the rain pours, but I'm with you staying dry and warm

And sad songs, they don't make me sad no more

And the first time was the last time walking out that door

And the rain pours, but I'm with you staying dry and warm

And sad songs, they don't make me sad no more

They don't make me sad no more

Sad, sad songs

They don't make me sad no more
