Elton John - Blues For Baby And Me lyrics

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Your old man got mad when I told him we were leaving

He cursed and he raged and he swore at the ceiling

He called you his child, said honey get wise to his game

He'll get you in trouble I know it, those bums are all the same

There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us

So tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that bus

And it's all over now

Don't you worry no more

Gonna go west to the sea

The greyhound is swaying

And the radio is playing

Some blues for baby and me

And the highway looks like it never did

Lord it looks so sweet and so free

And I can't forget that trip to the west

Singing blues for baby and me

Saw your hands trembling, your eyes opened in surprise

It's ninety in the shade babe, and there ain't a cloud in the sky

I called you my child, said honey now this is our game

There's two of us to play it and I'm happy to be home again

There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us

So tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that bus
