[Intro]
Even a sad song is better than no song at all
[Verse 1]
First Chuck Will's Widow of the season
I just figured out that lonely bird's reason
For sleepin' all day and singin' the same song all night long
Poor Will is gone, the sadness is defeatin'
That achin' in your heart surely bears repeatin'
But it takes all day to gather up the strength to sing this song
[Chorus]
I get lost (I get lost)
Sad and lonely (Sad and lonely)
So I count the stars above me
And I sing (And I sing)
When I should be sleepin' (When I should be sleepin')
'Cause that's when the world hears my weepin'
[Verse 2]
My neighbors been shootin', they can't get еnough
Well, maybe I'm just a Billy Goats Gruff
Around midnight, it'll get tough whеn it gets quiet
It's just some old tin cans and a buckshot gun
I should be flyin' down the road in the warmin' sun
Park my motorcycle when the day is done and say goodnight
[Chorus]
But I get lost (I get lost)
Sad and lonely (Sad and lonely)
So I count the stars above me
And I sing (And I sing)
When I should be sleepin' (When I should be sleepin')
'Cause that's when the world hears my weepin'
[Refrain]
Even a sad song is better than no song at all
[Bridge]
Lose your will, lose your destination
Voices in your head keepin' you guessin'
If it all goes south, count it as a blessin' that's where you are
Yeah, that's where, where you are
[Chorus]
If you get sad (If you get sad)
Lost and lonely (Lost and lonely)
You can count the stars above you
And you can sing (You can sing)
When you should be sleepin' (When you should be sleepin')
'Cause that's when the world hears your weepin'
[Outro]
Yeah, you can sing (You can sing)
When you should be sleepin'
