Cass McCombs - I’ve Played This Song Before Lyrics

Songs are sung everyday

So what can I say

To find my own way, babe?

I dug up some rusty old parts

From broken down hearts

They're deader than Mars

I've played this before

I've played this before

I've played this before

Well, I've played this song before



Girl, you're making me cry

We're living a lie

And all of those lines, babe

Been drinking some 80-proof gin

I'm a bucket of sin

This thing's wearing thin

I've played this before

I've played this before

I've played this before

Well, I've played this song before



This time, let's make up for good

I'll stop all my woulds

And do what I should, babe

I'll work up a new song to sing

And say what I mean

Honest and clean

I've played this before

I've played this before

Don't wanna know more

Well, I've played this song before
