Love was just a number
Blue my middle name
Check the sound of thunder
Hear the pouring rain
Luck was on vacation
Hope was doing time
But miracles still happen
And now I¹m feeling fine.
Because I bought myself a new blue banjo
And I taught myself to play
And I play it everyday
I¹m going to play away my blues somehow.
Loving you was just like
Driving through a red light
Every time I stopped I got booked
And if I tried to turn around
The sign said U-turns not allowed
And then I realized I must be hooked.
