Blue Tarp Blues Lyrics

Sonny Landreth Blue Tarp Blues

Air Force One had a heck of a view
Air Force One had a heck of a view
Looking down on the patchwork of the blue tarp blues.

I went Walkin through the water
sprung a leak in my shoes
I went Walkin through the water
sprung a leak in my shoes
that hole in my soul
give me the blue tarp blues.
I got the blues
I got the blue blue tarp blues.

There's a crack in the ceiling and the system too
There's a crack in the ceiling and the system too
We ain't got no coverage of the blue tarp blues.
I got the blues
I got the blue blue tarp blues.
I got the blues
I got the blue blue tarp blues.

No it wasn't the weather that shamed? me and you
It was a bad fix of politics screaming through
That levee lock couldn't hold back the truth
We're in deep but not out of the reach
Loan me something, mister.

I'm gonna fly my colors and watch for you
I'm gonna fly my colors and watch for you
Like a flag of hope, but the blue tarp blues

I got the blues
I got the blue blue tarp blues.
I got the blues
I got the blue blue tarp blues.
