You say you got your bags a-packed
You’re clearin’ out, a fact’s a fact
Ain’t nothin’ gonna slow you down no-how

You say you’ve had enough of me
Highway songs and therapy
And you don’t believe a man can turn around

Go on, walk out and leave me standin’ here with empty hands
Never mind, girl, that you walk out on a broken man
I’ll be left with nothin’ and that’s nothin’ left to lose

And all my colors fade to blue
My colors fade to blue

I never should’ve had that dream
That you and I could make it real
But it sure felt good to hold you for awhile

I can’t go back to my old ways
Now that everything’s forever changed
Forever, girl, I will miss your smile

Shut the door and let me wallow in my misery
The very last thing that I need’s your frickin’ sympathy
If you can’t give me love that is patient, good and true

All my colors fade to blue
My colors fade to blue

And I will get along quite alright
In another year or two
I’ll find a way to make it through the night
Tossin’ and turnin’ and cryin’ over you

All my colors fade to blue
My colors fade to blue

(background chant:
no more golden sunsets
no silver wedding ring
no more flashy shoes of red
no rainbow in your hand

no more eyes of blue and green
no shiny brunette hair
no more guitar with sunburst sheen
And you don’t even care)

I fade to blue
