lyrics

THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN BLUE

IT SEEMED SO LONG AGO IN THE QUIET TOWN THAT THEY CALLED HOME

THEY’D GO CRUISING DOWN ON MAIN STREET AND PARK OUTSIDE OF EDDY’’S BURGER ZONE

THEY’D TALK AND MORE RIGHT THERE IN THE FRONT SEAT OF THAT CHEVY

GO AS FAR AS THEY COULD GO, GO AS FAR AS SHE WAS READY

SKIPPING STONES ON THE RIVER WATCHING BARGES HEADING TO UNKNOWN PLACES

WITH DREAMS OF DESTINATIONS WHERE STRANGERS WOULDN’T RECOGNIZE THEIR FACES

SHE WANTED TIME TO GROW, AND LEARN AND KNOW
HE WANTED HIS FREEDOM

EMPTY PROMISES TO RETURN, EMPTY PROMISES SHE WOULD WAIT

HE THOUGHT THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN BLUE
WHEN THINKING OF THE EYES OF THEIR UNBORN CHILDREN

REFLECTING ALL THE PASSING YEARS
THOSE INNOCENT EYES, MIRRORS OF TRUTH
THEY COULD HAVE BEEN BLUE, SHOULD HAVE BEEN BLUE

THE WORLD HAS MOVED AND CHANGED BUT IT ALL SEEMS JUST THE SAME DOWN ON MAIN STREET

SHE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE OF EDDY’S WITH A BROWN EYED DAUGHTER ON HER KNEE
HE SMILED AT THE LITTLE GIRL AND SAID I USED TO BE A GOOD FRIEND OF YOUR MOTHER

BUT THAT WAS LONG AGO

THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN BLUE, THE LAUGHING EYES OF HER CHILDREN
REFLECTING ALL THE PASSING YEARS
THOSE INNOCENT EYES, MIRRORS OF TRUTH
THEY COULD HAVE BEEN BLUE
SHOULD HAVE BEEN BLUE
