I never heard a sound so sweet
As when you lay it down on the strings
Will you take me earnestly
Or just an old man who is waiting
Play a little and ease a troubled mind
I used to be young, it was such a short time
Can you help me remember my loves and my losses
I'm stuck behind a threshold no one re-crosses
Tonight's just not my night
And I reckon, I've got no opinion
But I sure don't recognize
Any of my supposed friends
Can you take me back to where I live
You see I don't have much time left to give
My ma is making pie
And my kids are probably wondering why
I haven't been home in so long
I don't think I've seen them in so long
Play a little and ease a troubled mind
I used to be young, it was such a short time
Can you help me remember my loves and my losses
I'm stuck behind a threshold no one re-crosses
Tonight's just not my night
And I reckon, I've no opinion
I sure don't recognize
Any of my supposed friends
Tonight's just not my night
And I reckon, I've no opinion
I sure don't recognize
Any of my supposed friends
