Sometime last September (2017) I was looking at my clothes hanging up and realized how much of my wardrobe revolves around the color blue. Not an incredibly astute observation given how long it took to have that realization, but nonetheless I thought it might be funny to write a song where someone starts wearing blue just because they were dumped. There's a lot of wordplay in this one, and it's pretty much a straight up honky-tonk so there's a lot about it for people to hate but I love it.
lyrics
Well I used to wear the brightest shades of red that I could find
Maybe a splash of orange to match the sunshine in my mind
But that all changed one day after a brief phone call with you
Oh ever since that day, seems like my favorite color's blue
(chorus)
Since I lost you
My favorite color's blue
It's all I wear anymore
Since I lost you
My favorite color's blue
To match the teardrops on my floor
Oh these days all I see is green like a vault inside a bank
Just a jealous rage building up in me, I’m nothin but a crank
Maybe I’ll see other colors again, if you're ever off my mind
If I'm ever able to shake it off and leave these blues behind
(chorus)
(guitar solo)
I guess I'll just indigo away, since I ain't got the nerve to fight,
you might say that makes me yellow and I might say that you're right.
I hope that I can live in technicolor again some later day,
but until that happens it seems like all my skies are gray
