lyrics

Lyrics to Joe Nolan's song "The Losing Game" from the 2022 album Lost Verses:

To all you old rounders and all my bad weather friends
And all the dreams that never came true
There's this road and she's laying so pretty
And I'm going to see her through
When they ask you why I ain't around
Tell 'em all I skipped town
Left them city lights in the rear view mirror

I'm tired of the losing game
Stuck with these small town blues again
Oh people here all they talk about is change
Ain't it funny how things just stay the same

All the broken lovers and the long lost verses
I once put down on paper
Tonight I'll tie up these highway laces
And watch 'em all burn to vapour
When they ask you why I ain't around
Tell 'em all I skipped town
As that old sunset just disappears

I'm tired of the losing game
Stuck with these small town blues again
Oh people here all they talk about is change
Ain't it funny how things just stay the same

I'm tired of the losing game
Stuck with these small town blues again
Oh people here all they talk about is changing
I think I'll try my luck somewhere new baby

I'm so tired of the losing game
Stuck with these small town blues again
Comes a time in life when you gotta up and leave
For something better and brighter I believe
There's something better and brighter I believe

Joe Nolan Edmonton, Alberta

Cry Baby's 10-song collection is a trip through melancholic madness, touching on darkness & depression, broken relationships & endless booze-fuelled evenings. Yet at its core is Nolan’s unwavering strength as a lyricist, & his wounded-heart delivery that reminds us of our humanity. It's, in essence, Nolan unapologetically sharing his story, & through that finding a second chance & a new beginning. ... more
