Lyrics
The Cali-Bama Blues
© Jonathan Helfand
Blue, Blue
Blue, I'm Blue
Blue, Blue
I've got a picture of my lover
By this hotel bed
Tonight I'll wrestle with the covers
Should be her instead
Baby's home in Mobile Bay
While I'm singing in L.A.
With the Cali-Bama blues
Cali-Bama Blues
She tapes my postcards to her mirror
They all read the same
"I need you Babe. I wish you were here"
A bittersweet refrain
I describe the weather here
As "lonely, with a chance of tears."
That's the Cali-Bama blues
Cali-Bama Blues
Blue without the tenderness of her soft caress
And this emptiness feels so wrong
Blue 'cause I can't lay her down,
wrap these aching arms around her
when I'm 2,000 miles from home
When she calls to say she loves me
Close my eyes, I'm there
and I can swear I smell the Gulf breeze
like perfume in her hair
I can almost taste my love
Guess I've got a bad case of
The Cali-Bama blues
Cali-Bama Blues
