Blue Jean
I just met me a girl named Blue Jean

 

Blue Jean
She got a camouflaged face and no money
Remember they always let you down when you need 'em

 

Oh, Blue Jean
Is heaven any sweeter than Blue Jean
She got a police bike
She got a turned up nose

I done ran into my baby
and finally found my old blue jean.

Well, I could tell that they was mine
from the oil and the gasoline.

Did you think that I would cry, on the phone?
Do you know what it feels like, being alone?
I'll find someone new

 

Swing, swing, swing from the tangles of
My heart is crushed by a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again?

I'm taking the shade out of the sun
Whatever made me think that I was number one
I oughta know, easy come, easy go


Sittin' it out, now I'm spinnin' the dial
Just thinkin' about the chump I've been, I have to smile
Didn't I know, easy come, easy go

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

 

Picket lines and picket signs (sister, sister)
Don't punish me with brutality (sister, sister)
Talk to me (sister)
So you can see (sister)
Oh, what's going on (what's going on)
What's going on (what's going on)
What's going on (what's going on)
What's going on (what's going on)

I have a friend I've never seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him and see
If he can come out
Try to lose the down that he's found

 

But only love can break your heart
Try to be sure right from the start
Yes, only love can break your heart
What if your world should fall apart?

Yeah, runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery

Goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it, with what you do to survive
'69, I was 21 and I called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned into the road I'm on

Running on (running on empty)
Running on (running blind)
Running on (running into the sun)
But I'm running behind

Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I don't know about anyone, but me
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave
