Honeymoon with the Blues

[Verse 1]
Wedding bells rang out today but not for me
They were for somebody else and my old used-to-be
Had to catch a train, I couldn't stand the news
I’m on a honeymoon with the blues

[Verse 2]
Thought her invitation was an answer to my note
Saying I was sorry for the unkind words I spoke
But it's just a one-way ticket that I can't refuse
To a honeymoon with the blues

[Chorus]
So roll on, eight-wheel driver, take me far away
A thousand miles may not be far enough
The blues and I are celebrating our wedding day
Better check my ticket so I’ll know where I get off

[Verse 3]
I know that we're not headed for Niagara Falls
But any destination would just lead me to four walls
Where I'll spend weary nights wearing out my shoes
On my honeymoon with the blues

[Bridge]

[Chorus 2]
Never thought I'd make this trip without the girl of my dreams
Choosing rice over what I'd had in mind
So mister engineer, won't you turn on the steam?
Leaving all my dreams way behind

[Verse 4]
Say porter, I'd like to order drinks for two
I know that I'm alone, but then, that’s nothing new
And while I’m celebrating, here's a drink for you
On my honeymoon with the blues
I’m on a honeymoon with the blues
