Happy Sad

I’m happy-sad to tell you I'm a leavin’. I’m headed out on the road. I got a two-week run-up to Omaha, a couple of dives, and a rodeo. I don't fare well with goodbye darling, I'll tell you hello real soon. I'm happy sad to tell you I'm leaving now. I’m hoping that you’re happy sad too.

Cause it’s two things they’re wishing on, every penny in a fountain, every shooting star. That the band don’t go out broke, sad, high on dope. Record man, if you please. I got a woman, got a mortgage, got a mouth to feed. So, anywhere right in the middle would be fine by me.

You pay your dues to be great, the cost comes every day. I'm getting by on crackers and coke. Just a band with the van, with the jams, and a plan to get by on the music we wrote. Hell, I ain't good a goodbye darlin’ - I'll tell you hello real soon. I’m happy sad to tell you I’m leaving now. I’m hoping that you’re happy sad too.

And it’s two things they’re wishing on, Every penny in a fountain, every shooting star. That the band don’t go out broke, sad, high on dope. Record man, if you please. I got a woman, got a mortgage, got a mouth to feed. So, anywhere right in the middle would be fine by me.

Another day, another fire, there goes another tire, and getting to the stage is down to the wire. With all the whiskey and coke and all the wrong notes, cut the check, son. I’m headed back home. Hell, I ain’t good a goodbye darlin’ - I’ll tell you hello real soon. I’m happy sad to tell you I’m leavin’ now I’m hoping that you’re happy sad too.

Cause it’s two things they’re wishing on, Every penny in a fountain, every shooting star. That the band don’t go out broke, sad, high on dope. Record man, if you please. I got a woman, got a mortgage, got a mouth to feed. So, anywhere right in the middle would be fine by me.

Don't need a lot can take a little. Yeah, anywhere right in the middle. Yeah, anywhere right in the middle would be fine by me.
