Far Away Blues
It was just some summer romance
Below the pine trees
Long after my heart break
And the changing in the leaves
It was just some summer romance
With no particular place to go
I watched her play an eight ball
With the girls from down below
Well, she drove a Carmen Ghia
With the stereo torn out
No one was really certain
What that was all about
But she said, please don't talk about it
I'll get in trouble if you do
Just some summer ro mance
with nothing much to do
I was dreaming about Florida
Pretty angels up above
And all those girls on TV
that I never got to love
And I wish I was in Florida
With so much more to lose
Instead of in the pool hall
With a faraway blue
There's a boy in the apartments
He ain't got no shoes
He looks kinda dirty
He's never been to school
I was ridin' in the backseat
With the rich and with Clay
They were drinkin' and a -wonderin'
Why they turned out this way
I was waiting at the pool hall
Too young to buy a beer
Those Florida girls
They would never come in here
Sunshine so amazing
They got my kind of eye
Those faraway blues
Are just about my size
And I wish I was in Florida,
with so much more to lose
Instead of in the pool hall,
with the faraway blues
I'm stuck here in this pool hall,
with the faraway blues
