Melancholy Blue

(tom douglas/harlan howard)

Ever since i lost you babe
I've been here and there
Looking for some piece of mind,can't find it anywhere
I went down to tunica,played me a little blackjack
Saw a wino on the corner gave my winnings back

If it was just money
Baby,i could make it
But living without you
Can i take it
All i see ahead of me
Is just melancholy blue
Cause i ain't got no future without you

I went down to austin,lots of beautiful people there
Could have had a better adventure,i just didn't care
Got a job in california,they sure like my style
But there's something about that california sun
Reminds me of your smile

If it was just money
Baby,i could make it
But living without you
Can i take it
All i see ahead of me
Is just melancholy blue
Cause i ain't got no future without you

Now and then i go back to biloxi
Whenever i feel brave
Visit that little country church down there
Lay some flowers on your grave
You sure got a hold on me,i don't want to do
I ain't got no future
I can't see no future without you
