I got a letter from a man he's an old song writer and he wrote me about the pain in his life
He said that hit song eluded me my kids dont give a hoot about me that's the thing that cuts me like a knife

AND I'M BLUE BLUE IN BOWLING GREEN BLUE BLUE IN BOWLING GREEN

Then he gave me some advice he said tell the truth I know it aint nice when that truth is aimed right at your own heart but if I could live it again buddy I'd live it over again next time I wouldnt pick up this old guitar

'CAUSE I'M BLUE BLUE IN BOWLING GREEN BLUE BLUE IN BOWLING GREEN

I see you on tv you're on the jukebox in magazines riding in white limosines while I'm BLUE IN BOWLING GREEN

Then he said hey hit singer this here's a song not a letter I dont know if it's a hit but I know it's real
If you want it it's for free if you sing it just think about me remembering old dreams in Bowling Green and he signed it

BLUE BLUE IN BOWLING GREEN BLUE BLUE IN BOWLING GREEN

BLUE BLUE IN BOWLING GREEN BLUE BLUE IN BOWLING GREEN
