Flying Colors Lyrics - Singles - Keith Whitley

Flyin' Colors (Keith Whitley) 

When you walked out of my life 

I didn't think that I'd survive 

Hope was growing dimmer day by day 

But much to my surprise 

Lord I made it out alive 

An' my world is looking anything but grey 

I came through with flyin' colors 

A little black and blue 

From the wear and tear 

But love got the best of me 

An' I turn green with jealousy 

When you made it crystal clear you did not care 

I came through with flyin' colors 

My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through 

I should win the Purple Heart 

'Cause you tore mine all apart 

But I came through with flyin' colors 

After losin' you 

Yes I've got a yell'er streak 

'Cause I know your places weak 

An' I still get pale whenever you're in sight 

I may shade out of my mind 

Oh but I'm not color blind 

'Cause I've learned that love ain't only black and white 

I came through with flyin' colors 

A little black and blue 

From the wear and tear 

But love got the best of me 

An' I turn green with jealousy 

When you made it crystal clear you did not care 

I came through with flyin' colors 

My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through 

Oh I should win the Purple Heart 

'Cause you tore mine all apart 

But I came through with flyin' colors 

After losin' you 

Oh I should win the Purple Heart 

'Cause you tore mine all apart 

But I came through with flyin' colors 

After losin' you
