Like Some Old Sad Song

They walked around the department store

On a warm Summer night. She was radiant

And beautiful; and forever lost

She was done with him, and ready

To move on; trying to let him down easy

Like some old sad song

They stopped to look at boots. She told him

Straight up, his weren't cool. "Them straps and

Buckles ruin it for me," she said, then he took her

Home. And her kiss was cold at the door

And it told him what he did not want to know

He got that lonesome feeling like some old sad song

And time did its job of healing

Though his better days were often full of pain

Because life, it ain't a song. Nobody gives a damn

No guarantees. Love's a gamble

He lost touch with her, and he never got it back

You know that's probably for the best because life

Gets mighty complicated like that

Then one day he just woke up and decided it was time

To move on. He didn't want to end up dying

In some old sad song

And time did its job of healing

Though what wasn't wasn't what it was to be

Because life it ain't a song. Nobody gives a damn

No guarantees. Love's a gamble

No guarantees. Love's a gamble
