I'm falling off the barstool mama in this old ghost town saloon
|
Where sunlight moves like sadness across the room
|
Oh my sweet mama if you could only see me
|
Now drunk as a skunk falling out of this rundown lacy gown
|
|
This blue ink this blue ink this blue ink
|
Across the page i write to you
|
|
I'm sitting in these thorny cowboy boots
|
And scabby knees wondering why i left you mama
|
Just to do as i please no hat has a brim
|
Wide enough to block out the blazing sun
|
I met the devil on the road but i had no legs to run
|
|
This blue ink this blue ink this blue ink
|
Across the page i write to you
|
|
Silver ran off two towns ago i been walking alone
|
I been walking slow my eyes are dry from the desert wind
|
I know i ain't coming home to you again
|
|
I'll take off into the deep blue sky
|
When i'm dead and gone and the buzzards fly this blue ink across the page
|
I write to you mama if you love me you're the only one who do
|
