Play me a sad song

'Cause that’s what I want to hear

I want you to make me cry 

I want to remember the places that we left

Lost to the mists of time



I know that you’ll go soon

You’ll find out so take me with you always

I know that you’ll go soon

You’ll find out so take me with you always



On buses that move through the night

We sleep on and on

We got off at Memphis

Black-top heat will make us thirsty

We’ll never get sick anymore



I know that you’ll go soon

You’ll find out so take me with you always

I know that you’ll go soon

You’ll find out so take me with you always



Play me a sad song

'Cause that’s what I want to hear

I want you to make me cry 

I want to remember the places that we left

Lost to the mists of time
