lyrics

Built By Blue

When it all goes down, I’ll lay a pallet on the cold ground
When they come take our house away, on a sunny afternoon on a saturday
I’ll take you by the hand, like the night we met, and I’ll lay down with you in this bed built by blue
Does your mom still live in Houston, because both my folks are gone
We’ve got some friends that would welcome us, if we showed up on their porch
Take the horses to the sale barn, and sell the old swing set for scrap
Bring along the old medicine chest, that your granny brought when she came out west
I’ll take you by the hand, like the night we met, and I’ll lay down with you in this bed built by blue
No it don’t take change to move on, it takes a highway ride on loan
The best that I can do right now, is say it’s alright, I’ll do anything, you’re never alone
I’ve never been more in love with you, I swear we’ll get to Houston soon
Then we’ll laugh and cry and sing, and this memory will keep on changing
I’ll take you by the hand, like the night we met, and I’ll lay down with you in this bed built by blue
