[00:24.05]I'm falling off the barstool mama
[00:29.65]in this old ghost town saloon
[00:35.31]Where sunlight moves like sadness
[00:38.14]across the room
[00:46.29]Oh my sweet mama
[00:51.57]if you could only see me
[00:56.95]Now drunk as a skunk falling
[01:00.73]out of this rundown lacy gown
[01:03.57]
[01:08.06]This blue ink
[01:13.38]this blue ink
[01:18.65]this blue ink
[01:21.12]Across the page I write to you
[01:27.21]
[01:38.55]I'm sitting in these thorny cowboy boots
[01:42.82]And scabby knees
[01:49.04] wondering why I left you mama
[01:52.63]Just to do as I please
[01:59.70]no hat has a brim
[02:01.72]Wide enough to block out the blazing sun
[02:10.14]I met the devil on the road but
[02:12.33]I had no legs to run
[02:16.22]
[02:21.05]This blue ink
[02:26.47]this blue ink
[02:31.72]this blue ink
[02:33.39]Across the page I write to you
[02:39.88]
[03:00.98]Silver ran off two towns ago
[03:04.99]I been walking alone
[03:07.68]I been walking slow my eyes are dry
[03:12.39] from the desert wind
[03:13.00]I know I ain't coming home to you again
[03:21.13]
[03:57.87]I'll take off into the deep blue sky
[04:06.34]When I'm dead and gone and the buzzards fly
[04:15.21]this blue ink across the page
[04:18.51]I write to you mama if you love me
[04:25.71]you're the only one who do
[04:29.18]
