lyrics

Battle Creek

I'm singing this song to chase the blues away.
I'm asking the clouds in the sky for the words to say.
Cause when the sky's got the blues, everything is ok.
I'm singing this song to chase the blues away.

I'm tapping my toe to the beat of the rain on the door.
The ceiling is leaking and dripping down onto the floor.
But with a rhythm like that, who could ask for more?
I'm tapping my toe to the beat of the rain on the door.

It's times like this, that a man can lose his mind.
So I'm singing you this song to pass the time.

I'm strumming this guitar to keep me company.
Trying real hard not to lose my sanity.
But all these faces look the same to me.
I'm strumming this guitar to keep me company.

My radio plays these old-time country songs.
I always catch myself singing along.
They've got me convinced that nothing's ever wrong.
My radio plays these old-time country songs.

It's times like this, that a man can lose his mind.
So I'm singing you this song to pass the time.

I don't know why my baby left me alone.
She told me I was something she'd outgrown.
You and I both know that's just how it goes.
But I still don't know why my baby left me alone.

I'm humming this tune to bring her back to me.
I've been living my life in her sweet memory.
I'll do what I can to set my spirit free.
I'm humming this tune to bring her back to me.

It's times like this, that a man can lose his mind.
So I'm singing you this song to pass the time.
