Lyrics
COLOR ME BLUE
WORDS AND MUSIC:
WAYLANDHOLYFIELD
MONTE THOMAS
VERSE:
BURNED MY BRIDGES, LEFT 'EM SMOKIN'
DIDN'T NEED A WOMAN TO HOLD ME BACK
THOUGHT I KNEW WHERE I WAS GOING
BUT WHERE I AM NOW, AIN'T WHERE IT'S AT
CHORUS:
GREENER, GREENER
SURE LOOKED GREENER FROM THE OTHER SIDE
DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT
A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT THAN I HAD IN MIND
PAINT A PICTURE OF ME WITHOUT YOU
YOU CAN COLOR BE BLUE
VERSE:
FENCES, WALLS AND BORDERS
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT LOVE WAS ALL ABOUT
LOOKING BACK NOW OVER MY SHOULDER
I'D DO ANYTHING TO BE THERE NOW
CHORUS:
GREENER, GREENER
SURE LOOKED GREENER FROM THE OTHER SIDE
DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT
A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT THAN I HAD IN MIND
PAINT A PICTURE OF ME WITHOUT YOU
YOU CAN COLOR ME BLUE
VERSE:
I WOULDN'T BLAME YOU FOR A MINUTE
IF YOU TOLD ME WHERE TO GO
BUT I'M ALREADY LIVIN' IN IT
BABY PLEASE, LET ME COME BACK HOME
REPEAT CHORUS
