I LOST MY JOB, I LOST MY JOB,
MY WIFE JUST RAN AWAY,
MY TRUCK BROKE DOWN, I WON'T BE FOUND
TILL SOMEONE COMES MY WAY.
DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR ME,
I'M FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF. (himself)
GOOD NEWS IS ON THE WAY,
NO NEWS IS NO NEWS THEY SAY.
SOMETHINGS ARE BOUND TO GO WRONG,
SOUNDS JUST LIKE AN OLD COUNTRY SONG, HA-HA,
JUST LIKE AN OLD COUNTRY SONG.
SHE WAS CHEATIN' WITH MY BEST FRIEND
AND MY BIG BROTHER TOO.
MY SON'S BEEN ACTING A LITTLE STRANGE
HE'S CHANGED HIS NAME TO SUE.
I SAW A SPACESHIP
THE MAN IN IT WAS COMING FROM THE MOON HUMMING THIS TUNE.
GOOD NEWS IS ON THE WAY,
NO NEWS IS NO NEWS THEY SAY.
SOMETHINGS ARE BOUND TO GO WRONG,
SOUNDS JUST LIKE AN OLD COUNTRY SONG,
JUST LIKE AN OLD COUNTRY SONG.
HEY!
IF SOMETHING BAD CAN HAPPEN
IT'S IN ACOUNTRY MELODY, (yoddle lai) BELIEVE YOU ME.
ANYONE CAN PLAY IT,
IT'S THE SAME THREE CHORDS OF G, D AND E.
PATSY AND KITTY TOLD ME,
MERL AND WILLIE SHOWED ME,
EVEN JOHNNY CASH TOLD ME TOO, IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU.
GOOD NEWS IS ON THE WAY,
NO NEWS IS NO NEWS THEY SAY.
SOMETHINGS ARE BOUND TO GO WRONG,
SOUNDS JUST LIKE AN OLD COUNTRY SONG,
JUST LIKE AN OLD COUNTRY SONG,
JUST LIKE AN OLD COUNTRY SONG,
COUNTRY SONG.
