George Jones — Brown to Blue

[Intro] Changed his name from Brown to blue [Verse 1] We stood there in the courthouse room So close yet far apart You had brought your lawyer And I'd brought a broken heart [Refrain 1] The judge pronounced the words The way you wanted him to do And changed your name from Brown to Jones And mine from Brown to blue [Bridge] I couldn't keep my tears from falling On the courtroom floor By law, they took away my rights To love you anymore [Refrain 2] My world just seemed to stop While I stood there so close to you They changed your name from Brown to Jones And mine from Brown to blue [Verse 3] The judge forgot to tell me How I'd live my life alone What I would do without you After loving you so long [Refrain 3] He didn't seem to care that I am still in love with you He changed your name from Brown to Jones And mine from Brown to blue [Bridge] I couldn't keep my tears from falling On the courtroom floor By law, they took away my rights To love you anymore [Refrain 2] My world just seemed to stop While I stood there so close to you They changed your name from Brown to Jones And mine from Brown to blue
