Lyrics:

I'm a sad clown
Been a fool
She colored my feelings
Midnight blue

She grew up in
A cold-hearted town
A desperate girl
And highway bound
She married young
Dropped out of school
Full of fire
A woman too soon

And I'm a sad clown, ya
Been a fool
She colored my feelings
Midnight blue

I met her in a small town bar
Drinkin' beer and playin' guitar
She had no money
Livin' on the streets
She gave me her love
Wasn't for keeps

I'm a sad clown
Been a fool
Been stepped on
By the likes of you
Look out

I still see her
From time to time
Hotel hoppin'
Drinkin' every man's wine
From innocence to guilt
In any human's eyes
But God I loved her
Be kind when she dies

I'm a sad clown
Been a fool
She colored my feelings
Midnight blue
