Sad Song for My Friend

(Tom T. Hall)



You know I love my music it's really all I got

I never really cared that much if I was cold or hot

Now I got the job to do I don't want to begin

I've gotta write a sad song for my friend.



He was not like me no he tried a lot

But just like me he cried a lot

Oh, I never thought I'd have to cause that ain't what I meant

I've gotta write a sad song for my friend.



--- Instrumental ---



She was quite a lady and he was quite a guy

They were quite a couple it was quite a cry

They used to sit and laugh a lot cause I like to pick and grin

They helped me write a sad song for my friend.



He was not like me no he tried a lot

But just like me he cried a lot

Oh, I never thought I'd have to cause that ain't what I meant

I've gotta write a sad song for my friend.



I don't wanna sing no sad songs for my friend...
