all Chained up in Blue

I remember when we met
It was a bitter pill to chew
She told me her sad story
All chained up in blue

I had a room you shared my bed
You shared my smoking too
We kissed and fought till all was said
All chained up in blue

My friends all said
hard as nails she’ll make a mess of you
But I was in a foot too deep
All chained up in blue

Woke up in a drunken haze
She left me with just a hole in my shoe
I did not cry because I’ll get by
All chained up in blue

For years I looked and tried to find
Lots of women passed on through
But you would sit inside my head
All chained up in blue

On bourbon street in a ******* bar
I looked up and it was you
You asked me if we had met before
All chained up in blue

She took me to her ***** room
Read poetry and fed me a brew
The words brought sorrow to my eyes
All chained up in blue

I ran in the morning like a frightened dog
Running is all I ever do
As I hitched a ride west with a pain in chest
All chained up in blue

Time swims by I still don’t cry
But I always think of you
Drop a nickel in a phone
but don’t call home
All chained up in blue
