Blue as I Do

(Stephen Bruton)



Day drinkin', just singin' out loud

Sundown's come down along with that nighttime crowd

Bookends, good friends, thoughts of the past

Your time is my time as long as it last.



I felt too good for too long to feel as blue as I do

Chain smokin', all jokin' aside

Wishin' and waitin' and hesitatin'

Tryin' to take it all in stride.



Night flight, back home everything's changed

All night tonight my thoughts rearranged

I felt too good for too long to

Feel as blue as I do.



--- Instrumental ---



Night hawkin', talkin' out of my head

Hometown show down

Give me the lowdown

But please don't tell me what you think I said.



Give me the feeling I'm on the right track

Catch me a night train I ain't comin' back

I felt too good for too long to feel

As blue as I do.



I felt too good for too long to feel as blue as I do...
