Blaze Foley Our Little Town Lyrics

(Blaze: And now, I'm gonna send it Merle Haggard, I don't know if he's gonna read it or not, but if anyone wants to say hello to Merle, do so now
Audience: Hey Merle!
Hey Merle, this is Kermit, uh, have you seen Miss Piggy, last I heard she's on your bus, kinda miffed, uh, Merle, you know what I mean 'cause it's not easy being green
Blaze; This is called Our Little Town. This is about some people, I thought of, maybe... it's not about anything I've ever done, but it's about things that, maybe, people I've seen have done.)

I watched the sun come up today
The wind swept all the clouds away
The sky did turn from grey to blue
As my thoughts did turn to you The birds sang songs we used to sing
Memories of you to bring
Soft and sweet and clear and high
The day is slowly passing by

Tonight I'll be alone and blue
With empty arms that long for you
I only hear the lonesome sound
Since you left our little town

I don't know why you went away
And nothing's all you had to say
Not a word comes through here about you
And soon my heart will break in two

Another night alone and blue
With empty arms that long for you
I only hear the lonesome sound
Since you left our little town
Since you left our little town
