(Willie Nelson)

I'm writing this song all about you
A sad song as real as my tears
There's no need to fear it for no one will hear it
For sad songs and waltzes ain't selling this year.

It's a good thing that I'm not a star
You don't know how lucky you are
Though my records may say it no one will play it
For sad songs and waltzes ain't selling this year.

--- Instrumental ---

I'll tell all about how you cheated
I'd like for the whole world to hear
I'd like to get even with you 'cause you're leavin'
But songs and waltzes ain't selling this year.

It's a good thing that I'm not a star
You don't know how lucky you are
Though my records may say it no one will play it
For sad songs and waltzes ain't selling this year.

No sad songs and waltzes ain't selling this year...
