My Blues

I've been feeling like fading out
I'm just another stranger in another midwest town
But the girl at the fabric store likes me around
She's gonna help me get my feet back on the ground

Now you're teaching me to cruise your manual ‘02 Corolla
I'm gonna stall it 20 times on the short drive to Viroqua
Don't worry, I'm sure I can get it by Minnesota
Would it really be the end of the world to check out California

Girl, I'm lookin to you
You drive away my blues

Well there's never been much to see in Prairie du Chien
But your silhouette is golden from lights you had woven through the evergreen
Now your dancin to Sinatra and I'm tryin to fix my left feet
Would it really be all that bad to ask you to marry me

Girl, I'm lookin to you
You drive away my blues

When we're feeling all old and gray and I don't recognize my face
Wrap me in that raggedy quilt you gave me on Christmas day
When we feel like we've got both feet in the grave
Remember your old Corolla with the worn out red chipped paint

Girl, I'm lookin to you
You drive away my blues
