tangled up in blue

Singer: bob dylan

early one morning the sun was shining

i was laying in bed

wondering if she'd changed at all

if her hair was still red

her folks they said our lives together

sure was gonna be rough

they never did like mama's homemade dress

papa's bankbook wasn't big enough

and i was standing on the side of the road

rain falling on my shoes

heading out for the east coast

lord knows i've paid some dues

getting through

tangled up in blue. she was married when we first met

soon to be divorced

i helped her out of a jam i guess

but i used a little too much force

we drove that car as far as we could

abandoned it out west

split up on a dark sad night

both agreeing it was best

she turned around to look at me

as i was walking away

i heard her say over my shoulder

we'll meet again someday
