Keep on bluffin', but I just can't win 00:15

Drowned my sorrows, but they learned to swim 00:20

Man, what a hell of a year it's been 00:26

Head in the bottle, but my heart in the cage 00:31

Yeah, it's gettin' harder to act my age 00:36

Play a sad song on a tiny violin 00:41

For the man at the bar confessin' his sins 00:46

I need some good news 00:51

Sittin' here, sippin' on cold truth 00:53

Nobody knows what I'm goin' through 00:56

Bet the devil wouldn't walk in my shoes 00:59

Wish someone told me 01:02

Livin' this life would be lonely 01:05

Tryna get away from the old me 01:08

Still stuck singin' these blues 01:11

All I really need is a little good news 01:15

Love keeps knockin', but I just stay home 01:21

I ain't pickin' no flowers from the seeds that I've sown 01:25

Still lookin' for the right at the end of my wrongs 01:36

Lyrics:

[English]

Man, what a hell of a year it's been

Keep on bluffin', but I just can't win

Drowned my sorrows, but they learned to swim

Man, what a hell of a year it's been

Head in the bottle, but my heart in the cage

Yeah, it's gettin' harder to act my age

Play a sad song on a tiny violin

For the man at the bar confessin' his sins

I need some good news

Sittin' here, sippin' on cold truth

Nobody knows what I'm goin' through

Bet the devil wouldn't walk in my shoes

Wish someone told me

Livin' this life would be lonely

Tryna get away from the old me

Still stuck singin' these blues

All I really need is a little good news

Love keeps knockin', but I just stay home

I ain't pickin' no flowers from the seeds that I've sown

They say it gets darker when you're coverin' them doors

Still lookin' for the right at the end of my wrongs

At the end of my wrongs

I need some good news

Sittin' here, sippin' on cold truth

Nobody knows what I'm goin' through

Bet the devil wouldn't walk in my shoes

Wish someone told me

Livin' this life would be lonely

Tryna get away from the old me

Still stuck singin' these blues

All I really need is a little good news

Is a little good news

Hey (ooh)

Hey (ho)

Hey (oh)

Hey (ho)

I need some good news

Sittin' here, sippin' on cold truth

Nobody knows what I'm goin' through

Bet the devil wouldn't walk in my shoes

Wish someone told me

Livin' this life would be lonely

Tryna get away from the old me

Still stuck singin' these blues

All I really need is a little good news

All I really need is a little

Somethin' bring me back to the middle

All I really need is a little good news
