From the recording Rip It Up!
Lyrics
BACK TO BLUE
Sitting at this back door
Crying as the rain falls
Wondering where life could have been
You left me over cheap wine
Stilled whiskey moonshine
Drinking my way from this sin
But all those times I faded
Yet you still came through
Now I’m fading black to blue
Well I was the fun one
I turned out the dumb one
While you tried to keep me in time
But I sold that vanity
And mistook your charity
For a life that I thought was just mine
But all those times I wasted
When I should have just loved you
Now I’m fading black to blue
I let go of that comfort
I let go of that shine
I misjudged that number
I misread that sign
Those times that I faded
Yet you still came through
Now I’m fading black to blue
Those times that I wasted
When I should have just loved you
Now I am fading back to blue
Those times that I faded
Those times that I wasted
Now I am fading back to blue
Fading back to blue
