Honeymoon With The Blues Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

Wedding bells rang out today but not for me 

They rang for somebody else in my old used to be 

Had to catch a train I couldn't stand the news I'm on a honeymoon with the blues 

I thought her invitation was an answer to my note 

Saying I was sorry for the unkind words I spoke 

But it's just a one way ticket that I can't refuse to a honeymoon with the blues 

So roll on eight wheel driver take me far far away 

A thousand miles or more would be just fine 

The blues and I are celebratin' our wedding day 

And we have no special or particular place in mind 

I know that we're not headed for Niagara Falls 

But any destination would just lead me to four walls 

Well I spend weary nights wearing out my shoes on my honeymoon with the blues 

[Musical Interlude] 

Never thought I'd take this trip without a girl of my dreams 

Shoes and drives what I've had in mind 

So Mister Engineer won't you turn on the steam leaving all my dreams away behind 

Say porter I'd like to order drinks for two 

I know that I'm alone but then that's nothing new 

While I'm celebratin' here's a drink for you on my honeymoon with the blues 

I'm on a honeymoon with the blues
