Don’t You Take It Too Bad (Rear View Mirror version) Lyrics by Townes Van Zandt

Rear View Mirror

2017

[Verse 1]
Well, don't you take it too bad
If you're feeling unloving
If you're feeling unfeeling
If you're feeling alone
Don't you take it too bad
'Cause it ain't you to blame, babe
Well, it's some kind of game, made
Out of all of this living
That we got left to do
[Verse 2]
Aw and if you go searching
For rhyme or for reason
Well, you won't have the time
That it takes just for talking
About the places you've been, babe
'Bout the faces you've seen, babe
Aw and how soft the time flies
Past your window at night
[Instrumental Verse]
[Verse 3]
And we just can't have that, girl
It's a hard, lonesome cold world
And a man needs a woman
Aw to stand by his side
And whisper sweet words
In his ears about daydrеams
And roses and playthings
And the sweetness of springtimе
And the sound of the rain
