The rain is tapping rhythm on the window pane
Shadows dancing slow, like an old ghost train
I've got silver in my beard, and gravel in my chest
Just a tired man, looking for a place to rest
The clock is ticking loud, but the world is still
Watching the moon climb over the hill
Oh, let the midnight blue wash over me
Like a weary ship on a velvet sea
With a raspy prayer and a heavy heart
The blues is the only way to play the part
Yeah, it's just me and the midnight blue
I've seen the seasons turn and the fires burn low
Learned a few things that the young don't know
Every scar is a story, every line is a song
The road is short, but the night is long
I don't need the neon, I don't need the light
Just a little bit of soul to get through the night
Oh, let the midnight blue wash over me
Like a weary ship on a velvet sea
With a raspy prayer and a heavy heart
The blues is the only way to play the part
Yeah, it's just me and the midnight blue
Whiskey whispers in the glass
Let the memories pass
Stay blue.. Jaxson's blue..
