you say you re clearing out the devil s in your eyes no time to walk no time to talk no time for long goodbyes the ticket s in your hand you ve made that final call the hard words flying by like punches in a barroom brawl we ve made a mess of things it makes no difference now let s chalk it all up to the blues little girl think it over one time little girl think it over one time little girl think it over one time before you break in your walking shoes i am just what i am i won t apologize so if you go you ll surely know you ll have to come to realize love don t walk away only people do so if you go or if you stay you know i ll keep on loving you we ve made a mess of things it makes no difference now let s chalk it all up to the blues little girl think it over one time little girl think it over one time little girl think it over one time before you break in your walking shoes we ve made the hard time sing we ve made the miles roll by we ve broken both our wings and still we ve had the will to fly it ain t the memories that make me talk this way it s more like someone pulled the plug before we ever saw the play we ve made a mess of things it makes no difference now let s chalk it all up to the blues little girl think it over one time little girl think it over one time little girl think it over one time before you break in your walking shoes i ve read a thousand books i ve been behind the wheel i ve known you all my life but still i can t feel how you feel it s only you for me just like that whooping crane who has one wife for all his life and if she dies he ll do the same we ve made a mess of things it makes no difference now let s chalk it all up to the blues little girl think it over one time little girl think it over one time little girl think it over one time before you break in your walking shoes
