Lyrics George Jones

George Jones

Blue Side of Lonesome

I'm calling to tell you it's over

Yes Darling, you're now free to go

You're saying you're sorry you hurt me

But you can't hurt me no more, I know.

You're asking me where this call comes from

Oh, I hope that it won't interfere

If your new romance turns out a failure

Well, here's where to find me my dear.

I'm just on the blue side of lonesome

Right next to the heartbreak hotel

In a tavern that's known as Three Tear Drops

On a bar stool not doin' so well.

The floor has a carpet of sorrow

But no one can weep in the aisle

And they say someone broke the bar mirror

With only the ghost of a smile.

The hands on the clock never alter

For things never change in the place

There's no present, no past, no future

We're the ones who have lost in lifes race.

I'm just on the blue side of lonesome

Right next to the heartbreak hotel

In a tavern that's known as Three Tear Drops

On a bar stool not doin' so well...
