The Thing Of It Is Lyrics

The Thing Of It Is - Sad Old World

It's a sad old world and it always was
And you sometimes do what you never does
You spent your money and you took your chance
But it all ran out through a hole in your pants
Take a whirl
Ridin' 'round the sad old world

It's a sad old world like it's always been
And it's beat-down broken like the shape you're in
And you drown your hopes in a gunny sack
In an oil slick river by the railroad track
Ain't no pearl
When you open up the sad old world

It's a sad old world like it always am
Makin' T-day dinner from a 2-buck ham
Wife left bangin' out your old screen door
With your last sad sawbuck gone to pay for the war
Baby girl
'Sa cryin' in your sad old world

Well it's a sad old world til you sand it down
Then you paint it all green where it once was brown
You could moan all night as the day is long
Or change your tune into a brand new song

It's a sad old world if you let it be
If you cage your mind 'stead of set it free
One step forward 'stead of turn and run
Can't cure it all, but you can fix it some
Maybe you'll
Make y'self a glad old world
