Paintin' the Town Blue

It's another lonely Saturday night

In my car with the radio on

Don't know why I keep driving by

'Cause I know you're long gone

I bet you're having a good time

Out on the town with your somebody new

While I'm driving around, getting down

Painting the town blue

Well, I stopped by to see a few of the old friends

Trying to get you off my mind somehow

And I was thinking this old heartache

Might just get lost in the crowd

And then somebody brought up all those memories

And had to ask how I'm getting over you

I said I'm hanging around, getting down

Painting the town blue

Everywhere I go and every way I turn

I'm seeing shades of you

You won't let me go, so I just keep on turning

Blueber shades of blue

Baby, I could let it drive me crazy

But it wouldn't mend this broken heart

So I'm gonna pull myself together

And make the best of this falling apart

So if you see me out having a good time

And acting like I forgot all about you

I'm just running around, getting down

Painting the town blue

Without you around, I'm getting down

Painting the town blue
