Well I grew up and I drifted from 
the midwest
Seen London, New York and Montreal
Music that I listened to had drum 
machines
We rocked as they kicked down the 
Berlin Wall
But my younger years sometimes felt 
like someone else's
Every now and then I hear it wafting
 in low

On the radio is Merle and Hank and 
Johnny
Buck Owens, Jimmy Rogers and George 
Jones

Blue must be the color of the blues



Now I stay in the sunny skies of 
California
Don't know where the days or time 
have flown
When I look in to the mirror don't 
know where that kid has gone
Even now I've got a young one of my 
own
Now I wonder what's the music she'll
 hold inside her heart
Cartoon kids they all sing rock and 
roll

But I'll make sure she hears Merle 
and Hank and Johnny
Buck Owens, Jimmy Rogers and George 
Jones

Silver wings I'm so lonesome I could
 cry
Stuck in Folsom Prison without you
Tiger by the tail, 'T' for Texas
Blue must be the color of the blues
