(Went off the acoustic version, so words may vary slightly) I learned how to hammer in the burning August sunI learned how to lie and cheat, how to steel and just how to runI fell asleep most nights with somebody else's blood on my tongue, Your tongueYou learned just how to runBut it's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoesI'm somewhere over the rainbow for youYou learned how to cry in them lonesome September nightsI learned to get by with the dogs and the dirt and the charm of the streetI fell asleep most nights with your pictures right behind my eyes,Your eyesThe killer and the victim arrive, right at the same timeBut it's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoesI'm somewhere over the rainbow for youAnd it's just the blues, Mary the bluesSwirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoesI'm somewhere over the rainbow for youThe cause for smile, is bright like the ramparts on the 4th of JulyAnd my baby swings like a boxer, and sends her right hooks onto my chinShe cries like a baby (cries like a baby)And she wears me just like a ringCries like a baby (cries like a baby)And she wears me just like a ringLearned how to swaggerI Learned how to hold you while your body burnedI Learned how compromise while this whirlwind hurricane turnedWe fell asleep most nights with each other's blood on our tongues,My loveDid you ever just have enoughBut it's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoesI'm somewhere over the rainbow for youAnd it's just the blues, Mary the bluesSwirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoesI'm somewhere over the rainbow for youAnd it's just the blues, Mary the bluesSwirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoesI'm somewhere over the rainbow for you
