The Blue Side of Me

I step off the bandstand again like a million times before

That old time feeling begins as I cross the barroom floor

It all goes where I go, this sorrow that I know

That feeling just won't set me free

My pretending has come to end

It's back to the blue side of me

Back to the blue side of me

The place I've always known

I'm as lonesome as can be

For it's been this way too long

It all goes where I go, this sorrow that I know's forever in my company

I know it too well to forget

It's back to the blue side of me

The bartender wants me to go

So soon I'll be on my way

That jukebox tempo is low

And they put all the barstools away

This drink heavy drifter has gone to a whisper

Is anyone hearing my plea?

You'll find me pretending again

Back to the blue side of me

Back to the blue side of me

The place I've always known

I'm as lonesome as can be

For it's been this way too long

This drink heavy drifter has gone to a whisper

Is anyone hearing my plea?

You'll find me nine times out of ten

Back to the blue side of me
