Bill Anderson Lyrics
"Sad Old Shade of Gray"

(Glenn Martin - Sonny Throckmorton)

We've had some good, we've had some bad
But mostly in-between
Used words like love, words like hate
And words we didn't mean.

We've put it down, we've patched it up
We both have had our say
Divorce ain't black, divorce ain't white
Just a sad ole shade of gray.

Neither one of us was always right,
Neither one was always strong
We never put I love you
In the place where it belonged.

When one was up the other was down
And love can't grow that way
Divorce ain't black, divorce ain't white
Just a sad ole shade of gray

You'll find a love to take my place
And I'll find me someone
For when it's all been said and done
More was said than done.

So you take yours and I'll take mine
We'll go our seperate ways
Divorce ain't black, divorce ain't white
Just a sad ole shade of gray.

Divorce ain't black, divorce ain't white
Just a sad ole shade of gray...
