Tangled Up In Blue
Early one morning the sun was shining
I was laying in bed
Wondering if shed changed at all
If her hair was still red
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like mamas homemade dress
Papas bank book wasnt big enough

Rain falling on my shoes
Im heading out to the east coast
Lord knows Ive paid some dues
Getting through
Tangled up in blue
She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam I guess
But I used a little too much force
And we drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out west
We split up on a sad dark night
Both agreeing it was best
She turned around and looked at me
As I was walking away
Then I heard her say over my shoulder
Well meet again someday
On the avenue
Tangled up in blue
I was living in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
I never did like it all that much
And one day the axe just fell
So I drifted down to new orleans
Where I happened to be employed
Yeah I was working for a while on a fishing boat
Right outside of de la croix
And all the while I was alone
The past was close behind
Id seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind
And I just grew
Tangled up in blue
She was working at a topless bar
And I stopped in for a beer
I just kept looking at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear
Now later on as the crowd thinned out
And I was just about to do the same
Yeah but she was standing there at the back of my chair
She said dont I know your name
