Blue Balloons

Blue balloons, blue balloons
What's a country boy to do?
With blue balloons, blue balloons
What the hell am I supposed to do?
Someone with a needle
Help me pop my blue balloons

Well, I gave her a diamond ring, bought her a car
Even took her took her up to one of those stuffy uptown bars
Went doing everything a gentleman's supposed to do, ah yeah
All she went and got me was a pair of shiny blue balloons, oh

Ah, blue balloons, blue balloons
What's a country boy to do?
With blue balloons, blue balloons
What the hell am I supposed to do?
Someone with a needle
Help me pop my blue balloons

Oh, I tried to be nice, pulled out her chair
Commented on her dress, shit, commented on her hair
I did everything that my pappy taught me I should do
Oh, I sure wasn't expecting to end the night with blue balloons, but it's true

Said blue balloons (blue balloons), blue balloons (blue balloons)
What's a country boy to do?
With blue balloons (blue balloons), blue balloons (blue balloons)
What the hell am I supposed to do?
Someone with a needle
Help me pop my blue balloons

Oh, not again
Not enough blue balloons

I went and called the mayor, called them up at the state
Even called the president, for goodness' sakes, I
Tried to write a letter, tell 'em about my blue balloons
(Dear Mr. President, here's my blue balloons)
All I got responded was "we all got them blue balloons, too"
Oh, not again

Blue balloons (blue balloons), blue balloons (blue balloons)
What's a country boy to do?
Blue balloons (blue balloons), blue balloons (blue balloons)
Bigger than my own two shoes
Someone with a needle
Help me pop my blue balloons
Hopefully someone's got a needle
To help me pop my blue balloons (blue balloons, blue balloons)
Oh, someone with a needle
Help me pop my blue balloons
