It was one last kiss stopped short of a long goodbye
It was an unheard of surprise
Hopped in my truck
Said goodbye and wished you luck
And remembered all the good ol times
I was headed right down 81
With the DJs playing our old song
Doing this shit ought to be a crime

But tonight there's only one shade of blue
Deepest, darkest and lonliest hue
Should have known
What this was leading to
But tonight there's only one shade of blue

I was headed for light trying to make a wrong seem right
Looks like I'm headed there again
But with the devil in her eyes
Maybe there's some second prize
Loneliness is my old friend
Well the DJs playing the same old song
And the highway miles they move along
Looks like I'm headed straight down to hell again

But tonight there's only one shade of blue
Deepest, darkest and lonliest hue
Should have known
What this was leading to
But tonight there's only one shade of blue

The songs almost through baby just like me and you
Looks like I'll find another track
But I'll keep on pushing through the dawn
Find myself one more song
Don't worry honey
I ain't never coming back

But tonight there's only one shade of blue
Deepest, darkest and lonliest hue
Should have known
What this was leading to
But tonight there's only one shade of blue
