The Only Thing She Left Me Was the Blues Lyrics

The Only Thing She Left Me Was the Blues - Eleven Hundred Springs

Written by:Matt Hillyer

 

I woke up this mornin' to an empty house

 

And empty's just what I mean

 

My baby must've left in the middle of the night

 

She really stripped the place clean

 

Well I don't know how I slept through it all

 

It must've been one hell of a snooze

 

The only thing she left me was the blues

 

She took my favorite chair she left the cupboards bear

 

She even took our old dog gus

 

The only thing that lingered in the air

Was a sad memory of us

 

She took my vcr she even took my guitar

As she walked on out the door

 

She took the kitchen table but she still was able

 

To leave the bills on the floor

 

She must've had strong arms to tote it all out

 

She must've had soft footsteps cause I didn't wake up and find out

 

She took my baseball bat she took my cowboy hat

 

My boots and all of my shoes

 

The only thing she left me was the blues

 

Now I'm lyin' here naked on my living room floor

Cause she run off with all of my clothes

 

I'd like to listen to a record on my old turntable

 

She run off with all of those

 

The sound of silence as I sit here alone

Let's me know it's gonna be a long day

 

What a stroke of bad luck she took my pick up truck

 

To haul it all away

 

Now I wish I knew just where she went

But she didn't leave a number to call

 

I wish I knew what time it was

 

She took the clock off of the wall

 

But one thing's clear as I'm sittin' here

 

Searchin' for all of the clues

 

The only thing she left me was the blues

 

She must've had strong arms to tote it all out

 

She must've had soft footsteps cause I didn't wake up and find out

 

I'd like to call someone but she took the phone

 

Now ain't nobody heard the news

 

The only thing she left me was the blues

 

 

The only thing she left me was the blues
