Sad Songs And Waltzes

(album: Shotgun Willie - 1973)

I'm writing a song all about you
A true song as real as my tears
But you've no need to fear it
'Cause no one will hear it
Sad songs and waltzes ain't selling this year

I'll tell all about how you cheated
I'd like for the whole world to hear
And I'd like to get even with you 'cause you're leaving
But sad songs and waltzes ain't selling this year

And it's a good thing that I'm not a star
You don't know how lucky you are
Though my record will say it
No one will play it
'Cause sad songs and waltzes ain't selling this year

And it's a good thing that I'm not a star
You don't know how lucky you are
Though my record will say it
No one will play it
'Cause sad songs and waltzes ain't selling this year
Sad songs and waltzes ain't selling this year
