Well, I was under the impression everything was going just fine Lookin’ back I’d say that it was great ‘Til she packed up all her bags and she loaded that ole truck And she tore out down that interstate So I called up her Momma on the phone that night And explained the situation I was in She said, “You might as well forget it, what’s done is done And she won’t be coming back again”.
(1st Chorus) And it don’t get bluer than that now, Darlin’ It don’t get bluer than that I’ve got a broken heart and a cold six pack And it don’t get bluer than that.
There’s a picture of us in the frame on the dresser From the weekend that we spent in Panama And a shoebox in the closet, just filled with cards and letters Girl, I got a half a mind to burn them all Now, who’d of ever thought that it would be like this No, I never saw it ending this way There’s a dark cloud over my head tonight And it looks like the rain is here to stay.
(2nd Chorus) And it don’t get bluer than that now, Darlin’ It don’t get bluer than that Like a midnight train on a cold, dark track And it don’t get bluer than that.
Ah, it’s got to be as lonely as a man can get Ah, this ole heart is hurting like it just won’t quit.
