Blue Ink
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
