Lucy Kaplansky Texas Blues written by Bill Morrissey
Shawn Colvin harmony
D
Never been so lonesome
Em
Never been so blue
G
It's midnight on the highway
D
I'm coming back to you
D
Stuck in Ozona Texas
Em
Out on highway 10
G
I'm going to Arizona
D
To win you back again
D
Last time I saw you
Em
Your voice was cold as ice
G
And you spoke of some old lover
D
Like a lonsesome paradise
D
Now I'm standing on the highway
Em
And the only light I see
G
Is just a cold and heartless moon
D
Shining down on me
D
Never been so lonesome
Em
Never been so blue
G
It's midnight on the highway
D
I'm coming back for you
