Take me out tonight
Baby don't wait too long
Take me out tonight
Baby don't wait too long
Rattle me up when it all goes wrong
All I can hear is this sad song
The banjos are rolling
They're tappin' those tambourines
The banjos are rolling
They're tappin' those tambourines
Baby's gonna dance while I sit here instead
With a sad song reelin' around in my head
So raise your glass
I'll just pretend
I'm still havin' fun
But I know how it ends
You'll sing along as
I fall apart
Cause there's always a sad song
Livin' in my heart
When I was a child
Things were goin' fine
When I was a child
Things were goin' fine
Then trouble come blowin' on a wind in the pine
Left me with a sad song
Planted in my mind
So I'm gonna buy me
Lectric guitar
So I'm gonna buy me
Lectric guitar
I'll turn it up just as loud as she goes
But this sad old song is all that she knows
So raise your glass
I'll just pretend
I'm still havin' fun
But I know how it ends
You'll sing along as
I fall apart
Cause there's always a sad song
Livin' in my heart"
