Big Blue Note Lyrics - Honkytonk University - Toby Keith

(Toby Keith/Scotty Emerick) 

See that big blue note, 

Over there on the counter? 

You don't wanna read that thing, man, 

It's a real get-you-downer. 

But don't you dare say nothin' else, 

Bad about her: she's gone. 

No, no, no, no, don't, don't throw it away, 

'Cause tonight, I might need it. 

It gets real lonely around here at night some times, 

An' I have to read read it. 

Besides, you can show it to the boys down town, 

They won't believe that she's gone.

There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted. 

All the man that she'll ever need. 

I come home to find, just like that, she's up an' vanished. 

An' the only thing she left behind for me: 

Is this big blue note, 

Folded up in my pocket. 

Yeah, don't laugh: it's been two months; 

I still got it. 

Sometimes I have to read the sucker twice, 

Just to make sure I ain't forgot that she's gone. 

You know, my psychiatrist said: 

"Tell me, what do you see, 

"When you look at these inkspots, 

"Of, er, reds, yellows an' greens?" 

You know, I looked at 'em all, 

But they all looked to me like big blue notes.

There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted. 

All the man that she'll ever need. 

I come home to find, just like that, she's up an' vanished. 

An' the only thing that's left to do for me: 

Is stand high on this cliff, 

Overlooking the sea. 

With my big blue notepaper aeroplane, 

That I just set free. 

An' I'm gonna wait here a few more minutes, 

An' if it don't come back to me: 

You guessed it: she's gone. 

Crash landing. 

Bye bye, baby.
