He walks in from the factory   Dirt on his hands, dead on his feet   There's no mistaking that look in his eyes   When the blues and my baby collide      Could be the boss, could be the bills   Could be the car that winter just killed   I see the hurt he thinks he hides   When the blues and my baby collide      That's when I want to hold him and tell him I love him   Say, "Baby, everything is gonna be all right"   Let him know I've been thinking of him   I'm right here by his side when the blues and my baby collide      He's got a will of iron and a heart of gold   But this old world sure does get cold   Sometimes the wreck is part of the ride   When the blues and my baby collide      That's when I want to hold him and tell him I love him   Say, "Baby, everything is gonna be all right"   Let him know I've been thinking of him   I'm right here by his side when the blues and my baby collide
