Blues For Baby & Me lyrics

Music by elton johnLyrics by bernie taupinAvailable on the album don’t shoot me I’m only the piano playerYour old man got mad when I told him we were leavingHe cursed and he raged and he swore at the ceilingHe called you his child, said honey get wise to his gameHe’ll get you in trouble I know it, those bums are all the sameThere’s a greyhound outside in the lane, it’s waiting for usSo tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that busAnd it’s all over nowDon’t you worry no moreGonna go west to the seaThe greyhound is swayingAnd the radio is playingSome blues for baby and meAnd the highway looks like it never didLord it looks so sweet and so freeAnd I can’t forget that trip to the westSinging blues for baby and meSaw your hands trembling, your eyes opened in surpriseIt’s ninety in the shade babe, and there ain’t a cloud in the skyI called you my child, said honey now this is our gameThere’s two of us to play it and I’m happy to be home againThere’s a greyhound outside in the lane, it’s waiting for usSo tell him goodbye, we gotta go west on that bus
