Sad Songs (alt. mix) AJJ

[Verse 1]
They say ambition is an enemy of greatness
And greatness is an enemy of fame
When I pick up my guitar and I try to write a song
I think of what my mentor used to say:

[Chorus 1]
"Who fucking gives a rat's ass Steve, just write a love song
Cause they'll keep your belly full and your wallet lined
Don't bother these nice people with your sad sack songs
If you ask me, I think they're just a waste of time"

[Verse 2]
Inspiration is the best friend of my sorrow
And sorrow is the best friend of my drink
And I wanna look myself in the eye tomorrow
But I'm worried about what other folks will think

[Chorus 2]
"But who fucking gives a rat's ass Steve, just write a love song
See a counselor if you need to ease your troubled mind
Could you please sit over there?
I don't want you cryin' in my beer
Do you want some cheese with that wine?"

[Verse 3]
There's a song that I keep trying to sing to no one
But I'm afraid that it's too short or it's too long
And to add to all the things that I'm afraid of
The Devil stopped sending me his songs
