Sad Songs
written and produced by Sherman Tabor / mixed and mastered by Matthew Thomson
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
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
And 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 be the last one
‘Cause I’ve been running too long
And I ain’t playing no games no more
And I guess I got a thing for Irish girls
Who hide their hearts behind golden curls
And I guess you got a thing for guys
Who say too much and promise you the world
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
And 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 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 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, 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
