Lyrics

Lady Blue

Fat girl with the face from heaven
God just dealt you another nasty hand
While you were waiting for your seven-come eleven
Your hair moosed, your legs clean shaven
With your head still in the sand

God knows why it had to be you
To shoulder this heavy weight
Tied to your past by circumstances
Losing all of your second chances

CHORUS
She'll never find love
She'll never be well
She's always alone
Within her broken home
Her friends all pray for her every day
But there's only so much you can do for Lady Blue

First came childhood and that was rough
Mom and Dad gave their best to you
You couldn't get the misery to end
You devoured your only friend
It was all you knew how to do.

You took your share of that ugly pair
From the house when you finally left
You can blame them while they're still here
Even after they disappear

CHORUS

Oh, Lady Blue, don't cry
It's going to be all right
You're no worse than I
Am in the middle of the night

I'm insensitive I know It's true
To sit here and write this song about you
But I've known you since I was a kid
Watched you cover up your face as you hid
From a better view

And I feel sorry for you. I really do.
God knows what I'd do if I were you
But I can't help thinking in the back of my mind
I'd find a better way to serve my time
