The Only Thing She Left Me Was The Blues by Eleven Hundred Springs Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2004

Verse:
I woke up this mornin to an empty house
And empty's just what I mean
My baby must've left in the middle of the night
She really stripped the place clean
Well I don't know how I slept through it all
It must've been one hell of a snooze
The only thing she left me was the blues

Verse:
She took my favorite chair, she left the cupboards bear
She even took our old dog Gus
The only thing that lingered in the air
Was a sad memory of us
She took my VCR, She even took my guitar
As she walked on out the door
She took the kitchen table but she still was able
To leave the bills on the floor

Bridge:
She must've had strong arms to tote it all out
She must've had soft footsteps cause I didn't wake up and find out
Reprise:
She took my baseball bat, she took my cowboy hat
My boots and all of my shoes
The only thing she left me was the blues

Verse:
Now I'm lyin here naked on my living room floor
Cause she run off with all of my clothes
I'd like to listen to a record on my old turntable
She run off with all of those
The sound of silence as I sit here alone
Lets me know it's gonna be a long day
What a stroke of bad luck she took my pick-up truck
To haul it all away

Verse:
Now I wish I knew just where she went
But she didn't leave a number to call
I wish I knew what time it was
She took the clock off of the wall
But one thing's clear as I'm sittin here
Searchin for all of the clues
The only thing she left me was the blues

Repeat Bridge:
Reprise:
I'd like to call someone but she took the phone
Now ain't nobody heard the news
The only thing she left me was the blues
