Sad Old Town Lyrics by Johnny 99

Words Left Unsaid

2021

[Verse 1]
I'm tired of bummin’ around in this old town, just need a place to lay my head tonight
Watch the shadows swallow the world, let my sorrows drift out of sight
But I think I'll find an old barroom, see how long I can ride the pine
Saddle up with a drunk and see how much it takes to ease my mind
[Chorus]
Well, I gotta get out of this sad old town and quit mourning
I swear, I can't spend another night on that dirty old floor
But it’s 3 AM, looks like I did it again
I just came here hoping that I might find a friend
And ask 'em if by chance they've seen my mind
[Verse 2]
I'm tired of spinning my wheels in this crooked deal, I'm tired of losin' all the time
Just when I finally found the words, now I'm runnin' out of lines
And if I moved down to Nashville, you know, I wonder what I’d really find?
You think I’d finally be whole, or would I be having too good of a time?
[Chorus]
Well, I gotta get out of this sad old town and quit mourning
I swear, I can't spend another night on that dirty old floor
But it’s 3 AM, looks like I did it again
I just came here hoping that I might find a friend
And ask 'em if by chance they've seen my mind
[Bridge]
And when I look back now, it's kind of funny how I think I knew it along, but I’m not sure
And when the lights come on, they're finally playin' our song, I'm still wonderin' how the hell did it ever go so wrong
And maybe I'll be wonderin' for all time
[Chorus]
Well, I gotta get out of this sad old town and quit mourning
I swear, I can't spend another night on that dirty old floor
But it's 3 AM, looks like I did it again
I just came here hoping that I might find a friend
And ask 'em if by chance they've seen my mind
Yeah, ask 'em if by chance they've seen my mind
