Blue Ink Laura Veirs
Lyrics and guitar chords
I'm falling off the barstool mama
In this old ghost town saloon
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
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
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
In this old ghost town saloon
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
