Flyin’ Colors (Keith Whitley)
|
|
When you walked out of my life
|
I didn’t think that I’d survive
|
Hope was growing dimmer day by day
|
|
But much to my surprise
|
Lord I made it out alive
|
An’ my world is looking anything but grey
|
|
I came through with flyin’ colors
|
A little black and blue
|
From the wear and tear
|
But love got the best of me
|
An’ I turn green with jealousy
|
When you made it crystal clear you did not care
|
|
I came through with flyin’ colors
|
My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through
|
I should win the Purple Heart
|
‘Cause you tore mine all apart
|
But I came through with flyin’ colors
|
After losin’ you
|
|
Yes I’ve got a yell’er streak
|
‘Cause I know your places weak
|
An’ I still get pale whenever you’re in sight
|
|
I may shade out of my mind
|
Oh but I’m not color blind
|
‘Cause I’ve learned that love ain’t only black and white
|
|
I came through with flyin’ colors
|
A little black and blue
|
From the wear and tear
|
But love got the best of me
|
An’ I turn green with jealousy
|
When you made it crystal clear you did not care
|
|
I came through with flyin’ colors
|
My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through
|
Oh I should win the Purple Heart
|
‘Cause you tore mine all apart
|
But I came through with flyin’ colors
|
After losin’ you
|
|
Oh I should win the Purple Heart
|
‘Cause you tore mine all apart
|
But I came through with flyin’ colors
|
After losin’ you
