Joel's Last Yodel

Sad and lonesome is what we sing
It's stone-cold hearts not stone-set rings
I'm trying to write but I just can't think
One single blue-ish thought about much of anything
And it's your fault that my self-pity
Went running from your sweet smitten grin
Just when nobody loves you
You go and get all happy they're in love with your best friend

So I'll save that song for a rainy day
When my beer is warm and the bed's cold
When the money's gone and the lovers say
Goodbye
Is something I bet you won't ever say

Sad and lonesome is what we do
Our skies are gray and our hearts are blue
But what could a sad old yodeler prove
To happy, sober freaks like the two of you
Love is snake bites, love is tears
It's a mighty hostile state to be in
And just when nobody loves you
Some couple makes you feel like you could start it all over again

So I'll save that song for a rainy day
When my mama's sick and the truck's broke
When the money's gone and the lovers say
Goodbye
Is something I bet you won't ever say

Song in heart
Heart in hand
Hand in half sour jar
Who could doubt
That this great land
Was built by ranks of achy-breaky hearts
Lone shadow by the roadside sings
Yodelayeehoo
Then you pull up, got a diamond ring
And now you want to know what do I guess she'll think

Well, sad and lonesome is just our style
There's no right foot forward in a country mile
So don't think that means don't keep on smiling
I haven't seen real hope in quite a while
If your bread and butter is down and out
You don't want nobody rocking the boat
But just because nobody loves you
Don't mean there's no one coming along to tell you that's not all she wrote

No, I'm saving that song for a rainy day
When the bail is high and the skirts are low
When the money's gone and the lovers say
Goodbye
Is something I bet you won't dream of saying
So I'll save that song for a rainy day
When hobos cry by the railroad
When the money's gone and the lovers say
Goodbye
Is something I demand you never say
