BLUE MT BLUES
I got a whole lot in my pocket, and I just got off the train... I think im checkin in-to the ho-tel, cause I can stand to see the rain.
There's a healing gateway out in the forest, for people like me and you-
Where they gather all the artists and jokers... to get away from the blue mountain blues.
Well the city offers the nightlife, and not so much more than that... while this place offers nothing but silence,
...less temptaions and less to re-gret.
And I hear all your complaints like a champion...
But its not me that you need to amuse... you see I actually came for the boredom... and a sip of that blue mountain dew.

...I remember a tear in my mom's eye...
When I told I would get outta here...
She said my son what will ...be-come of you? I shrugged my shoulders like I didn't care...
But deep inside an anxious feeling, cause actually I didn't have clue...
All I knew is that I better be leavin... or succumb to those blue mountain blues...
I have to get away... from those blue –mountain blues.
I sat alone every night by my window... watching the motorway and neon signs.
Made a batch of plans for my future... fueled by youth and too much red wine.
So if this was to go for my escapin' ...the same place that you now want to leave,
Don't you realize that you aren't using... the value of my sactuary.

Our apartment smelled heavy from drinkin... she said - this is the life I choose...
Gotta keep this life boat motor runnin somehow... what else is a girl like me to do?
...And it might not be the city that got her... but it was this place, that lit the fuse...
She was just another young restless woman, escaping the blue mountain blues.
Waitin to be saved, ...by someone like you
Just waiting to be saved... by someone like you...
And she was Waitin ...
Waitin...
Just a' waitin...
And were all just wai-tin...
So I introduced you two to each other... and things seemed to work out great... until she came home with a new kinda sparkle...
I'm alive she said (if you remember how- that -felt) she said I liked you better as a musician,
Have you thought of reuniting your band??
...and when you told her about it... she said boy you really live in the past...
Now there's a strange light hanging over the valley ...and they expect me to make the move... but I been at home soaked up now... in the blue ...mountain blues.
In the blue... mountain blues.
Im just waitin, waitin, waitin...
Im waitin, waitin, waitin...
