the last town i painted

i came home the other night i've been out on a town

i searched talk through the house she was not around

i finally found her note it red this is goodbye to you

and that's the last town i painted and i painted it blue

now that i have lost her i don't want to live

i done all the takin' i didn't want to give

time has come it's plain to see the devil must pay his dues

and that's the last town i painted and i painted it blue

i still go to the tavern that i went to before

i search for the fun i had it's not there anymore

if i could have her back again i know i would be true

cause the last town i painted i painted it blue

now blue is not my favorite color cause it makes me sad

why i asked for all these blues when i'm usin' too much red

i've got a lotta troubles no one to tell it to

cause the last town i painted i painted it blue
