SAD SAD FEELIN

Written: Monterey Street, Farmington NM, 1974

 

Knees was thinking about Diane, the singer in the band Country, when he wrote this song, but as usual, the plot didn’t necessarily follow real life. If a line rhymed, and had a good sound to it, Knees would use it even if it suddenly changed the thrust of the song.

 

The last thing on my mind

Was to bring you down with me

What started out as a partnership

Soon had us on our knees

 

I thought that we would find

A way to make it last

But we were thinkin like we used to

We were livin in the past

 

Such a sad sad feelin,

To know the one you love

Is the one you got to leave

To be free, to be free, to be free.

 

There’s so much to do

An so little time to live

We thought we’d take the world apart

We had so much to give

 

So remember me this way

As your partner and your friend

An remember all the times we had

And maybe have again
