only need a cable & a memory chip
for Xmas if i'm lucky i'm gonna meet you lips to cheek
just play a little louder everyone will sing
you grew up to blue and i was born to shake your leaf

red river county no one is on line
we feel like dynamite but babe did you ever know why
the girl in a hollow tree, is it me they say?
sometimes i wanna close my eyes make that picture go away

here comes another stranger
welcome to the blues
there ain't nobody that can dance like you
sure it was strange in houston
water on the moon
nobody that can play like you

the first thing i remember is a fire and a minor key
and walkin by the creek where the frogs go leap
last night i dreamed those snakes they were speakin in tongues
the water's full of sharks have i lived that long?

the hurricane was sudden we were on a drunk
lyin on a pavement the cops had closed another bar
woke up in colorado where the water is clear
your memory was meltin but you never never had no fear

a stranger in my coffee
welcome to the blues
nobody that can sing like you
a little peace in dallas
the way it used to be
born in a minor key

here comes another sunset
the nature of the blues
oh, but i think i'm gonna see you soon
we're gonna meet in dallas
the way it used to be
way over yonder when we all be free


cuidado amigo esto es que te dico
no ser desperdido quiero bailar con tigo
quiero escucharte no tienes que llorer
vamos partir todo el mundo es libre
