Blue Mood - Jerry Jeff Walker

Well I’d already turned the lights out, almost gone to sleep

When a little voice inside me asked, are you all you thought you’d be?

This late night singing’s just like dreaming

More like talking to yourself

I don’t find many answers, but the music seems to help

It’s just a blue mood I’m in, comes every now and then

It’s the kind that softly knocks you down to your knees

But it’s gonna pass in time, in a day or two, well, I’ll be fine

Just tonight those blues got the last ol' laugh on me

I heard they got Suzanna’s money, like they stole Fred Neilson’s mind

Well, I guess that reinforces music’s all we’ve got sometimes

Life’s mostly handshakes and divorces

True blue friends that bend and sway

While the price of living honestly comes harder every day

Yeah, I’ve been recovering from surgery, yea, they took a piece of me

Well, I’ve been cut much deeper, I always got back on my feet

But with the passing of John Henry, then the loss of Stevie Ray;

I see the light of our own time get dimmer every day
