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
