Jerry Jeff Walker — Blue Mood

Well I'd already turned the lights out, almost gone to sleep When a little voice inside me asked, are you all you thought you'd be? This late night singing's just like dreaming More like talking to yourself I don't find many answers, but the music seems to help [Chorus] It's just a blue mood I'm in, comes every now and then It's the kind that softly knocks you down to your knees But it's gonna pass in time, in a day or two, well, I'll be fine Just tonight those blues got the last ol' laugh on me I heard they got Suzanna's money, like they stole Fred Neil's and mine Well, I guess that reinforces music's all we've got sometimes Life's mostly handshakes and divorces True blue friends that bend and sway While the price of living honestly comes harder every day [Chorus] Yeah, I've been recovering from surgery, yea, they took a piece of me Well, I've been cut much deeper, I always got back on my feet But with the passing of John Henry, then the loss of Stevie Ray; I see the light of our own time get dimmer every day [Chorus]
