lyrics

Song About Nothing

I think I’m gonna write a little song all about NOTHIN.
I think I’m gonna get a little SOMETHIN right off of my mind,
‘Cuz every time I write another song that’s about SOMETHIN…well…
It just gets me in NOTHIN BUT TROUBLE almost all the time.

‘Cuz when I write about laughin, you think it’s all a joke
And when I write about money, then you think I’m broke…
I write about cryin, you think I’m blue,
And if I write about love, you think it’s all about you…
I write about leavin, you think I’m unhappy…
I write about kissin, and you think I’m too sappy…
I write about hate, you think it’s bad intention,
And another song about whiskey, they would do an intervention…

I think I’m gonna write a little song about NOTHIN.
…
‘Cuz when I write about my past, then I’m “livin in yesterday”
And when I write about the future, I’m just “wishin our time away”…
I write about my kids, you think I’m exploiting,
Write about anything-other-than-you and you think I’m avoiding…
I write about workin and you think I’m underpaid,
I write about the weekend and you think I’m getting laid,
I don’t write one at all and you think I’m in a slump
And if I write what I’m really thinkin, you might think I’m smokin somethin…

So… I think I’m gonna write a little song all about NOTHIN.
I think I’m gonna get a little SOMETHIN right off of my mind,
‘Cuz every time I write another song that’s about SOMETHIN…well…
It just gets me in NOTHIN BUT TROUBLE almost all the time.
Yeah every time I write another song that’s about ANYTHING AT ALL…
Well it just gets me in NOTHIN BUT TROUBLE almost all the time.
