"LONGEST DAY, LONELIEST NIGHT"

 © 2017 Oliver John-Rodgers (OJR) 

The longest day, the loneliest night

Each day I spend tryin’ to live my life

Without you

The barroom haze, them blurry lights

I’m fightin’ tears to appear all right

Without you

But I’m up cryin’ till the crack of dawn

Spendin’ my dollars on jukebox songs

And I’m still blue

God I’m blue

Livin’ without you

I’m so blue

Livin’ without you

The longest day, the loneliest night

Each day I spend tryin’ to get it right 

Without you

Late-night calls from old pool halls

Choked-up lungs, you know I smoke ‘em all

Without you

I stayed up cryin’ till the crack of dawn

I spent my last dollar on a jukebox song

And woke up blue

God I’m blue

Livin’ without you

I’m so blue

Livin’ without you

We both know it’s better

If you never come around

And we both know

That time heals all wounds

In a tiny little town

You played the devil, mama

So I had to play the clown

And now I’m blue

Livin’ without you

I’m so blue

Livin’ without you
