John Prine - No Ordinary Blue Lyrics






Last night
Turned on the TV
Looked out the window
And then pulled down the shades
And I came to
The conclusion
My mind could not be made

She said "Well what're you thinkin'?
I'm just a-wonderin'
Is it somethin' that I did?"
I said "It's nothin'
Just somethin'
I picked up as a kid"

I hear a lot of empty spaces
I see a big hole in the view
I feel an outline that traces
An imaginary path back to you
This ain't no ordinary blue

Last night
For a split sec
I was a train-wreck
I was a complicated guy
I hope we don't find
This's the last time
We ever say "Goodbye"

The orange gleam
Is risin'
On the horizon
Of the outskirts of my mind
I sat and listened
As it glistens
It says "Leave the past behind"

I hear a lot of empty spaces
I see a big hole in the view
I feel an outline that traces
An imaginary path back to you
This ain't no ordinary blue

Too cold to hold
Too deep to swim to
Too cold to hold
Too deep to swim to

Last night
Turned on the TV
Looked out the window
And then pulled down the shades

John Prine No Ordinary Blue Comments
  1. D.... D....

    After my scathing review of "Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings" I doubt that John Prine would ever talk to me. But his music sure does :)

  2. M.... D....

    This is on John Prine's website:
    With sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused, the Prine family
    and Oh Boy Records regretfully announce the postponement of the
    following John Prine Summer tour dates. We are currently working on
    rescheduling the affected dates and will share updated information as
    soon as possible -- all original tickets will remain valid.
    Alternatively, refunds are available at original point of purchase.

    In consultation with his doctors, John has been advised that he has an
    elevated risk for a stroke. He will have surgery this week to insert a
    stent which will remedy the issue. He looks forward to a full and
    speedy recovery.

    Thank you for your support and understanding.

    Saw Mr. Prine for the first time in 1979 with Bonnie Raitt and Jerry Jeff. John took the show. He never ever stops writing the most amazing songs on this planet. Thanks for making me laugh and cry for most of my life John Prine! Oh, and thanks for the thumb pick. I still have it.
