Was I Blue?
New York City I just woke up
Man, I love this place
Feel as small as the grains in my coffee cup
The egg upon my face
Holes right through my confidence
Holes right through my jeans
I'd be better off in the Southern States
Down in New Orleans
Looking up at the Empire State
I nearly touched the sky
A man picked me up and called me buddy
But he wouldn't spare a dime
Was I Blue? Bluer than anything
Was I Blue? Bluer than B.B. King
That night the rain came falling
I was shivering I was wet
Another night of broken dreams
A night I would forget
Wasn't always like this babe
I used to be so cool
Remember when I first fell in love
She didn't treat me like a fool, oh no
One day when this is over
And they ask me what I done
I'll say I didn't have a clue
Too busy hanging on
To any train that went my way
Any passing truck
Anyone who helped me then
Well, thanks I wish you luck
Was I Blue? Didn't have a clue
Was I Blue? Didn't know what to do
Some people think life's just a trick
And we're struggling through the game
No one ever told me all the rules
Well I guess you're just the same
They say we learn by our mistakes
Well, I'm still making mine
I know it's gonna change some day
But it takes such a time
Was I Blue? Ah you bet
Was I Blue? Didn't know what to do
Was I Blue? Bluer than the deep blue sea
Blue Blue, No one bluer than me
Blue, I was blue
Didn't know what to do
Man, I love this place
Feel as small as the grains in my coffee cup
The egg upon my face
Holes right through my confidence
Holes right through my jeans
I'd be better off in the Southern States
Down in New Orleans
Looking up at the Empire State
I nearly touched the sky
A man picked me up and called me buddy
But he wouldn't spare a dime
Was I Blue? Bluer than anything
Was I Blue? Bluer than B.B. King
That night the rain came falling
I was shivering I was wet
Another night of broken dreams
A night I would forget
Wasn't always like this babe
I used to be so cool
Remember when I first fell in love
She didn't treat me like a fool, oh no
One day when this is over
And they ask me what I done
I'll say I didn't have a clue
Too busy hanging on
To any train that went my way
Any passing truck
Anyone who helped me then
Well, thanks I wish you luck
Was I Blue? Didn't have a clue
Was I Blue? Didn't know what to do
Some people think life's just a trick
And we're struggling through the game
No one ever told me all the rules
Well I guess you're just the same
They say we learn by our mistakes
Well, I'm still making mine
I know it's gonna change some day
But it takes such a time
Was I Blue? Ah you bet
Was I Blue? Didn't know what to do
Was I Blue? Bluer than the deep blue sea
Blue Blue, No one bluer than me
Blue, I was blue
Didn't know what to do
