That Takes Me Back

I was driving home

It was late one evening

I was kind of low

With that sinking feeling

That I sometimes have

When it's all going wrong

When a sad old song

That I used to know

Came out and poured over me

From the radio

As if I didn't feel quite bad enough

And I remembered the times

That I used to have

And it seemed so long

Since I felt like that

And I thought out loud

That takes me back

So I came on home

When my conscience told me

I was on my own

I was feeling lonely

Like I always do

When it's all going wrong

But I just couldn't sleep

Laying in my bed

With that sad old song

Keep going round in my head

As if I didn't feel quite mad enough

 

So I drove my car

Without really thinking

To the nearest bar

And I started drinking

Like I sometimes do

When it's all going wrong

And the night went on

And the room was swaying

And I heard that song

On the jukebox playing

As if I didn't feel quite sad enough

And I remembered the times

That I used to have

And it seemed so long

Since I felt like that

And I thought out loud

That takes me back
