lyrics

Temporary, momentary
I let the blues in
Like an Avon Lady at my door
I give her five minutes here but no more

I’m bound to be blue
But refuse to be jaded

I don’t know when it started,
This pact I made to
Never be bitter like bad beer
Have I made myself clear?

Put up your dukes and get ready
Nip it in the bud
Before it storms in to take control
It wants your body. It wants your soul.

I'm bound to be blue, but refuse to be jaded
I'm bound to be blue, but refuse to be…

All of my life been dealing with excentric types
They’re colorful, they keep me on my toes

You can be moody and rude
But I can too so let's count to ten, and then
If need be we'll start again

It was a whiskey girl
She sang my song
I cried like a baby out of joy
You're my hero Amy
The real McCoy

I'm bound to be blue, but refuse to be jaded
I'm bound to be blue, but refuse to be…

All of my life – been hangin' with artistic types
They’re interesting, they see things just like me
