I was beating my head against the wall, trying to write a song.
Looking for lyrics that said it all, but the words came out all wrong.
Should I write about love, should I write about death, should I write about my pickup truck?
Sometimes you got nothing to say, and it’s alright to say it.

Sometimes you got nothing to say, and it’s alright to say it.
Let the music take you away, - just sit back and play it.
Get out of your seat and hit the floor. We got fancy words galore,
Won’t be needing anymore today; Sometimes you got nothing to say.

Now, I’m of the opinion that words can have their place.
But the words don’t have to clobber you, or hit you in the face.
So, when the words aren’t coming, the music will suffice.
Sometimes you got nothing to say, and it’s alright to say it.

Sometimes you got nothing to say, and it’s alright to say it.
Let the music take you away, - just sit back and play it.
Get out of your seat and hit the floor. We got fancy words galore,
Won’t be needing anymore today; Sometimes you got nothing to say.

My father was a wise man, he taught me lots of stuff.
Three words are good, two are better, and sometimes one’s enough.
So why waste time with silly rhymes, just let the music speak.
Sometimes you got nothing to say, and it’s alright to say it.

Sometimes you got nothing to say, and it’s alright to say it.
Let the music take you away, - just sit back and play it.
Get out of your seat and hit the floor. We got fancy words galore,
Won’t be needing anymore today; Sometimes you got nothing to say.
