Tonight I'm Getting Friendly With The Blues

(album: Snapshot - 1983)

We went through the house today
Divided up our stuff
I got some old records of his
He got all my love

The facts are facing me tonight
And they look like bad news
Tonight I'm getting friendly with the blues

The blues have kept good track of me
But he kept them outside
They could tell the minute he left
There's no place to hide

But I'll admit the company
Is something I could use
Tonight I'm getting friendly with the blues

He used to say I was too jealous
Of all his old girlfriends
I competed with their memories
And now I'm one of them

If you can't beat 'em join 'em
Be gracious when you lose
Tonight I'm getting friendly with the blues
Tonight I'm getting friendly with the blues
