When I'm drivin' down the road
I got my radio playin' heartbreak FM
And if I got blue skies, I don't know why
but I'd rather see a cloud roll in
This ain't what I'm used to,
so if it sounds kinda strange
I write sad songs for sad people,
I want every word to hurt
like blue eyes cryin' in the rain
They say, "Do what you love,"
and that's just what I do
I write sad songs for sad people,
but I wrote this love song for you
I really don't hate spending my time with you
And instead of being dead,
my roses are red, and I ain't quite so blue
and I don't want you to leave
I don't sing these kinds of songs,
but there's a first time for everything
I write sad songs for sad people,
I want every word to hurt
like blue eyes cryin' in the rain
They say, "Do what you love,"
and that's just what I do
I write sad songs for sad people,
but I wrote this love song for you
I write sad songs for sad people,
I want every word to hurt
like blue eyes cryin' in the rain
They say, "Do what you love,"
and that's just what I do
I write sad songs, I love sad songs
I write sad songs for sad people
but I wrote this love song for you
