Sad Song is a song written by Ashley Monroe and Matraca Berg and performed by Sadie Stone in the Season Three episodes I'm Not That Good at Goodbye and I'm Lost Between Right and Wrong. She writes it after ex-husband Pete has left her heavily bruised.
It is included on The Music of Nashville (Season 3, Volume 2).
Lyrics[]
There's a bottle o' wine on the kitchen table
Yeah, just hanging around
I could open it up and light a candle
Just burn the whole thing down
I'll be damned if it ain't raining
Perfect chance to feel the pain
But I don't wanna write a sad song
I don't wanna sing a sad song
No, I don't wanna be a sad song tonight.
No, not tonight.
I've been broken, God knows all the stories I could tell
My guitar's so sick of me feeling sorry for myself
Same ol' heartache, you again,
Did you come to party?
Do me in?
But I don't wanna write a sad song
I don't wanna sing a sad song
No, I don't wanna be a sad song tonight.
No, not tonight.
Just one night find peace in knowing
Where I've been's not where I'm going
And I don't wanna write a sad song
I don't wanna sing a sad song
No, I don't wanna be a sad song tonight.
No, not tonight.
Mmmm...
No, not tonight
