Story behind the song
I wrote this song when I was getting ready to go off to college. I was feeling a little bit disconnected from my community, and to make myself feel better, I wrote a song. It ended up not sounding so "sad", but it was still therapeutic.
Lyrics
I've Got Sore Legs
And A Tired Mind
From Chasing you
And Following your thoughts
I ain't lonely
and I ain't angry
I'm just a little sad
Oh You walk away
but you come on back
expectin' me to welcome you with a smile
I ain't cryin'
and I ain't whinin'
I'm just a little sad
Runnin' round and trying to find the tracks
Tell me how to get you back
I've got no compass, I've got no map
All I know
All I know
Is I'm a little sad
(oo just a little x3)
Oh I'm lost at sea
With no light house
To guide my soul to the shore
I ain't a quitter
and I ain't bitter
I'm just a little sad
Runnin' round and trying to find the tracks
Tell me how to get you back
I've got no compass, I've got no map
All I know
oh yes, All I Know
Is I'm a little Sad
(oo, just a little) x2
(dad's cool solo)
Runnin' round and trying to
find the tracks
tell me, how to get you back
I've got no compass I've got no map
all I know
oh yes all I know
is I'm a little sad
(oo just a little) x2
(She's not angry, she's not mad. mmm just a little sad)
