I'm falling off the barstool mama in this old ghost town saloon   Where sunlight moves like sadness across the room   Oh my sweet mama if you could only see me   Now drunk as a skunk falling out of this rundown lacy gown       This blue ink this blue ink this blue ink   Across the page i write to you       I'm sitting in these thorny cowboy boots   And scabby knees wondering why i left you mama   Just to do as i please no hat has a brim   Wide enough to block out the blazing sun   I met the devil on the road but i had no legs to run       This blue ink this blue ink this blue ink   Across the page i write to you       Silver ran off two towns ago i been walking alone   I been walking slow my eyes are dry from the desert wind   I know i ain't coming home to you again      I'll take off into the deep blue sky   When i'm dead and gone and the buzzards fly this blue ink across the page   I write to you mama if you love me you're the only one who do
