[Verse 1]
I think I was born with a broken heart
Lonesome deep in my bones
Mama said from the moment that I could talk
I was singing a leaving song
So I found some chords on an old guitar
Made one up of my own
No matter how good it is where I'm at
It's better when I'm gone
[Chorus]
Maybe that's why sad songs make me smile
Like an old friend I ain't seen in a while
So pull up a chair if you feel that way too
And I'll sing a sad song for you
[Verse 2]
I had one [?] to my soul
Bring me right through the hardest times
No matter where I choose to go
I'm living between the lines
[Chorus]
Maybe that's why sad songs make me smile
Like an old friend I ain't seen in a while
So pull up a chair if you feel that way too
And I'll sing a sad song for you
I'll sing a sad song for you
[Chorus]
So pull up a chair if you feel that way too
And I'll sing a sad song for you
I'll sing 'em all night long for you
I'll sing a sad song for you
