lyrics

How I pray the day will come when you can't make those fingers dance
That guitar pickin’s made your thinkin’ weary of romance
You play your little songs singing bout the love you got
But picking aint the same as loving what you never lost

You’re crying to yourself
Its sad but it’s true
You’re just a man who’s playin’ sad songs that he never knew

When the day gets long and you’re all alone humming like you do
Lets try to hum a song that’s got less fiction and more truth
Your desperation and displacement has me keeping score
And listening to your singing has become a tired bore

That handsome face has lost all faith
But I can still see through
You’re just a man who’s playin’ sad songs that he never knew

You’re not from Texas or New Orleans or from Tennessee
And yet you sing about them and how they’re supposed to be
Still it’s kind of funny how I fell for you at all
With your guitar pickin’ fingers and your ego ten feet tall

I guess that’s what it takes to make a woman see it through
You’re just a man who’s playin’ sad songs that he never knew
I guess that’s what it takes to make me feel the way I do
You’re just a man playin’ sad songs that you never knew

Long Time Coming
by Sierra Ferrell

supported by 113 fans who also own “Sad Songs”

Sierra Ferrell's music is the nectar that drips from vocal chords of angels on ecstacy and percocet, dripping with honey, and smelling of grandma's brownies. It has been proven to "cure what ails ya", and it temporarily wards off the existential dread that is slowly encompassing us all. Don't let the absurdity of our existence get you down. Listen to Sierra Ferrell instead. I am me and I approved this message. oldmanj716

Sierra, your music resonates my soul. The voice of Billie Holiday and the stylings of Django, gritty American songwriter music! Thank you!!! Favorite track = Rocket b_ret93

Pohorylle
by Margo Cilker

supported by 87 fans who also own “Sad Songs”

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín

This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar
