We went through the house today
Divided up our stuff
I got some old records of his
He got all my love
The facts are facin' me tonight
And they look like bad news
Tonight I'm getting friendly with the blues
The blues have kept good track of me
But he kept them outside
They could tell the minute he left
There's no place to hide
But I'll admit the company
Is something I could use
Tonight I'm getting friendly with the blues
He used to say I was too jealous
Of all his old girlfriends
I competed with their memories
And now I'm one of them
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
Be gracious when you lose
Tonight I'm getting friendly with the blues
Tonight I'm getting friendly with the blues
