Just Another Sad Song

I knew I shouldn't love her, we were only seventeen
But I've always been a sucker
For long blond hair and eyes so green
But I had to leave her, leave her in my past
It wasn't my first broken heart
I know it's probably not my last

It's just another heartache
And I don't even wonder why
It's just another woman
Who's tellin' me goodbye
It's just another sad song
That I'll sing again tonight

Will I hit the big time with records that sell gold?
Or will I sit on a stool at the Rock Away Grill
Playin' Neil Young 'til I'm old?
All I ever wanted was to be happy and to be free
But sometimes it takes so much
Just to bring those things to me

It's just another mountain
That I'm gonna have to climb
It's just another secret, yeah
That I'm gonna have to find
It's just another sad song
That I'll sing again tonight

Sing it to me, baby
It's just another sad song

There's no use in complaining but I do it anyway
I don't mind workin' hard
But it's sure hard working every day

It's just another story
That I'm gonna have to write
It's just another long day
I'll ride on through until the night
It's just another sad song
That I'll sing again tonight

Sing it to me, baby
It's just another sad song
Just another sad song
Sing it to me, baby
Just another sad song
Just another sad song, yeah, yeah
