lyrics

ONE MORE SAD SONG copyright Ben Ballinger 2014

I simplified, I made the drive,
I put my life on the line for the long run
You followed your dreams across the streams,
You were Lucid in Memphis 'til you woke up in Austin
And I should have known by the songs you wrote,
You'd become a part of me and then turn me into an amputee And that'd give me one more reason,
To write one more,
Sad song to sing

We are stranded in a future I've foreseen
With no tools or know how, trying to fix a time machine
And I hope you believe that the man you'll marry
He's out there but he's someone that I could never be
And that gives me one more reason,
To write one more,
Sad song to sing

I can feel the forgiveness getting thinner,
We see malice in the mistakes and only pain in the explanation
I see our lives, passing us by,
You wanted a garden, And I want the highway
But we live in a drought most of the time now
And the last time it rained, all the roads washed out

And that gives me one more reason, To write one more, Sad Song
One more reason, to write one more Sad Song,
One more reason, to write one more Sad Song to Sing,
A Sad Song to Sing.
