Van Zandt, Townes - Don't You Take It Too Bad Lyrics
Don't you take it too bad
If you're feelin' unlovin'
If you're feelin unfeelin'
If you're feelin' alone
Don't take it too bad
'cause it ain't you to blame, babe
Lord, it's just some kind of game made
Out of all of this living
That we got left to do
And if you go searchin'
For rhyme or for reason
Then you won't have the time
That it take just for talkin'
About the places you've seen, babe
And how soft the time flies
Past your window at night
And we just can't have that, girl
'cause it's a sad, lonesome, cold world
And a man need a woman just to stand by his side
And whisper sweet words in his ears about daydreams
And roses and playthings
And the sweetness of springtime
And the sound of the rain

Van Zandt, Townes Don't You Take It Too Bad Comments
Oh fucm here we go again
Another gem by the great Townes Van Zandt.
In all my 'feelin' unfeelin' and unlovin'' I'm still feeling blessed to eventually run across his music. It's a gift and a surprise, I'd never expect to be endowed with. I have a feeling it's not a random thing to be introduced to his music and his story and serves some mysterious purpose that is still beyond of my comprehension.
From 1969-friends of mine had this album back then,and this is the first time i've heard it since around 1970.One of the first songs where Dobro knocked me out[i have no idea who played it].Townes[R.I.P.]wrote this as well as Pancho & Lefty.
Ein Poet des Trostes. Wunderbare Musik!

Does anyone have the SUNSHINE BOY version? I’m dying to see if there is a difference. Thx in advance.
Bucólico el muchacho
Townes Van zandt is my hero. Helped me through hard times, and helping me through hopeless times.
I've absolutely been there. And he definitely helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life.
Timeless.
I wanna huff glue from a sock with him
Not hooked.
Stuck

Don't You Take It Too Bad
Well don't you take it too bad if you're feelin' unlovin'
If you're feelin' unfeelin' if you're feelin' alone
Don't take it too bad cause it ain't you to blame babe
Well it's some kind of game babe
Out of all of this living that we've got left to do
If you go searching for rhyme or for reason
Then you won't have the time that it takes just for talkin'
About the places you've been babe and the faces you've seen babe
How soft the time flies past your window at night
And we just can't have that girl cause it's a sad lonesome cold world
And a man needs a woman just to stand by his side
And whisper sweet words in his ears about daydreams
And roses and playthings
And the sweetness of springtime and the sound of the rain
Danke für den Text
That was his mission.
Real Music by the great TVZ...................
This song is so comforting.
I think this is what Townes was put on this earth for: to give solace.
But I don´t think he knew.
What a great comment. I think you're right.
@severinseverin77 7 absolutely! people ask, what kind of music? i tell em, therapeutic...
The sad, soulful, and poetic Townes Van Zandt.
Wolololololololololololololololo
Him sitting in that kitchen makes me want to bake him a pie. After we'll go out to the cave where he can sing me his lullaby. I'll just shut out the world while the sound surrounds my soul, and sleep until the heaven's awake me, and I am made whole.
woah. Awesome
Listening to this song---the tone reminds me of a song title 'Woman Walk In The Line' by Emmylou Harris. There is similarity...and if you go searching...
+James Mckenny For rhyme or for reason
He probably wrote that too....
3 dislikes!?
sure they miss the right button
+mario7frankielee actually some people have no taste in music.... there are almost always a few on townes' songs...they obviously don't listen to the song
Hang em !
so touching, hits me between the eyes :)
Wonderful - love the steel guitar - I used to race home from work to listen to this on CD - way back!
Bloody marvelous!
i moved to austin 4 this
And I would so love to dance with you! Isn't it grand how music can bring us such happy memories and wonderful feelings to enjoy the life we live today?
I went all the Way to N.Y. City on Broadway 101 (?) when the Office of Tomato Records used to Be in order to Buy All His Records in 1984 ... and they told me that the company moved to New Jersey ... Then on A Trip to California in March 1985 I Found Townes Van Zandt Records in a Store in Davis, CA ! I used to Sleep with his music back in late 70ties - early 80ties !!!
Pete Efremidis oh my! I can imagine!
@Pete, Davis CA is that kind of town!
Every time I play this I want to be back in my favorite country bar waltzing around the dance floor in some cowboy's arms! Drats!!! I'm almost 70 ... don't think it's gonna happen LOL
ellesetta lol. But it can still happen.
may you be forever everywhere.
The love of my fucking life! I adore Townes.
Great sound, great song! Thank you!
