Lyrics
?The Other Side of Blue?

Key of C
I was young when I left home; I was scared and all alone.
I didn't know what to do! I was tired and blue!
I thumbed a diesel down, just outside of town.
The man inside said, "Where to?" "To the other side of blue!"
To the other side of blue is where I am going.
Cause this side belongs to only a fool.
This side holds painful memories, memories.
I am going to the other side of blue.
Life has been an endless chain of long walks in the rain.
With quick hello's and good-bys. It makes a man want to cry.
I've always been misunderstood, always doing what I could.
But always ending a fool on this side of blue.
To the other side of blue is where I am going.
Cause this side belongs to only a fool.
This side holds painful memories, memories.
I am going to the other side of blue.
To the other side of blue is where I am going.
Cause this side belongs to only a fool.
This side holds painful memories, Oh those memories!
I am going to the other side of blue.
I am going to the other side of blue.
