Lyrics Number Sixteen - The Flatlanders

Number Sixteen

I’ll tell you something you don’t know
Something I found out long ago
Something that’s bothered you
It’s alright babe it bothered me too
Sometimes we catch on kinda slow
I think that you would know its true
and maybe you’d not think so of you
and sometimes we must be told
sometimes before we get too old
and that’s all that I’m tryin' to do
I know that how loneliness can burn
but that’s only one thing you must learn
I know you’re feelin' down
but there are things lower than the ground
now you’ve got one more place to turn
So I’ll tell you something you don’t know
Something I found out long ago
Something that’s bothered you
It’s alright babe it bothered me too
Sometimes we catch on kinda slow
