DAVID FOX

Lyrics

I used to love those sappy movies where the boy would get the girl
Where the superhero saved the day and rescued the whole world
Where a long-lost son finds his way home and hugs his Mom and Dad
But these days all those happy endings only make me sad

I used to love it when that pretty girl who worked behind the bar
Got up on stage and sang a song and became a great big star
When the good guys won and the bad guys lost, it used to make me glad
But these days all those happy endings only make me sad

Like when the crop fields were all dusty dry and it began to rain
When the underdog would win the fight in spite of all the pain
Or when the treasure hunter found the gold he’d been searching for so long
All those things that used to feel so right now all just feel so wrong

So now I drown myself in whiskey and I drown myself in beers
And when I watch one of those movies now, I drown in my own tears
‘Cause their smiles they just remind me of the good times we once had
And these days all those happy endings only make me sad
Yes their smiles they just remind me of the good times we once had
These days all those happy endings only make me sad
