All alone here I stand
Heart in hell chin in hand
Thinking what will I do without you
Did I know did I see
Did I drive her away from me
Did I cause her to be so untrue
The way she done me it ain't fair
Think I'm losing all my hair
Paid the price for the life that I choose
It's a red letter day for the blues
You were young you were wild
You were nothing but a child
You were sweet as a honeysuckle tree
Before I know before I saw
You took a young man and turned him old
And you drove on down the road of misery
The way she done me it ain't fair
Think I'm losing all my hair
Paid the price for the life that I choose
It's a red letter day for the blues
SOLO
The way she done me it ain't fair
Think I'm losing all my hair
Paid the price for the life that I choose
It's a red letter day for the blues
It's a red letter day
It's a red letter day
It's a red letter day for the blues
From Charlie Robison "Bandera"
