Blaze's Blue Songtext
von Townes Van Zandt

I got a guitar all my own
I got a quarter for the telephone
I ain′t headed down this highway all alone
One, two, three and maybe four
Honey they're knocking on my door
I know you′re going to miss me when I'm gone


Got no daddy but I got a ma
Think she lives in Arkansas
Maybe I'll go see her some old day
It ain′t like she′d really care
It ain't like she′d pay no fare
I might just blow on through there anyway

Headed down to Alabam'
Cause some trouble if I can
Oh buddy would you like to come along?
It′s a place I've never been
And you know I could use a friend
They said they′ll give us twenty bucks a song


I got a guitar all my own
I got a quarter for the telephone
I ain't headed down this highway all alone
One, two, three and maybe four
Honey they're knocking on my door
I know I′m going to miss you when I′m gone
