Tangled Up In Blue (as made famous by Bob Dylan) - Great White/Jake E. Lee[00:00:00]
Early one morning the sun was shining[00:00:10]
I was laying in bed[00:00:12]
Wondering if she'd changed it all[00:00:15]
If her hair was still red[00:00:17]
Her folks they said our lives together[00:00:19]
Sure was gonna be rough[00:00:22]
They never did like Mama's homemade dress[00:00:24]
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough[00:00:27]
And I was standing on the side of the road[00:00:29]
Rain falling on my shoes[00:00:31]
Heading out for the East Coast[00:00:34]
Lord knows I've paid some dues getting through[00:00:36]
Tangled up in blue[00:00:41]
She was married when we first met[00:00:52]
Soon to be divorced[00:00:55]
I helped her out of a jam I guess[00:00:58]
But I used a little too much force[00:01:00]
We drove that car as far as we could[00:01:02]
Abandoned it out West[00:01:05]
Split it up on a dark sad night[00:01:07]
Both agreeing it was best[00:01:09]
She turned around to look at me[00:01:12]
As I was walking away[00:01:14]
I heard her say over my shoulder[00:01:17]
We'll meet again someday on the avenue[00:01:19]
Tangled up in blue[00:01:24]
I had a job in the great north woods[00:01:35]
Working as a cook for a spell[00:01:38]
But I never did like it all that much[00:01:40]
And one day the ax just fell[00:01:42]
So I drifted down to New Orleans[00:01:45]
Where I happened to be employed[00:01:47]
Working for a while on a fishing boat[00:01:50]
Right outside of Delacroix[00:01:52]
But all the while I was alone[00:01:55]
The past was close behind[00:01:57]
I seen a lot of women[00:02:00]
But she never escaped my mind and I just grew[00:02:02]
Tangled up in blue[00:02:07]
She was working in a topless place[00:02:18]
And I stopped in for a beer[00:02:21]
I just kept looking at her side of her face[00:02:23]
In the spotlight so clear[00:02:25]
And later on as the crowd thinned out[00:02:28]
I was just about to do the same[00:02:30]
She was standing there in back of my chair[00:02:33]
Said to me "Don't I know your name[00:02:35]
I muttered something underneath my breath[00:02:38]
She studied the lines on my face[00:02:40]
I must admit I felt a little uneasy[00:02:43]
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe[00:02:45]
Tangled up in blue[00:02:50]
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe[00:03:01]
I thought you'd never say hello she said[00:03:06]
You look like the silent type[00:03:08]
Then she opened up a book of poems[00:03:11]
And handed it to me[00:03:13]
Written by an Italian poet[00:03:16]
From the fifteenth century[00:03:18]
And every one of them words rang true[00:03:21]
And glowed like burning coal[00:03:23]
Pouring off of every page[00:03:25]
Like it was written in my soul from me to you[00:03:27]
Tangled up in blue[00:03:33]
I lived with them on Montague Street[00:03:44]
In a basement down the stairs[00:03:46]
There was music in the café at night[00:03:48]
And revolution in the air[00:03:51]
Then he started into dealing with slaves[00:03:53]
And something inside of him died[00:03:56]
She had to sell everything she owned[00:03:58]
And froze up inside[00:04:00]
And when finally the bottom fell out[00:04:03]
I became withdrawn[00:04:05]
The only thing I knew how to do[00:04:08]
Was to keep on keeping on like a bird that flew[00:04:10]
Tangled up in blue[00:04:15]
So now I'm going back again[00:04:26]
I got to get her somehow[00:04:28]
All the people we used to know[00:04:31]
They're an illusion to me now[00:04:33]
Some are mathematicians[00:04:36]
Some are carpenter's wives[00:04:38]
Don't know how it all got started[00:04:41]
I don't what they're doing with their lives[00:04:43]
But me I'm still on the road[00:04:46]
Heading for another joint[00:04:48]
We always did feel the same[00:04:50]
We just saw it from a different point of view[00:04:52]
Tangled up in Blue[00:04:58]
