Lyrics:

(GUITAR INTRO)



if I fell off to sleep and did not wake



a-would the Lord my soul to take



and could the land that I've known also die



do you think of you and wonder why







down in leatherwood



that thought we leave behind



down in leatherwood



country love's gonna steal your mind



and we ain't never gonna be blue, be blue







was a mad house all flooded by the rain



or did I once live it in a dream



a-throwing all good minutes to the sea



did you know the sky can also bleed







down in leatherwood



that thought we leave behind



down in leatherwood



country love's gonna steal your mind



and we ain't never gonna be blue, be blue



(GUITAR SOLO)







an inner voice, it is telling me my verse



oh and if you're listening it can only make it worse



it maybe that there is a master plan



oh he who knows, he must be a great man







down in leatherwood



that thought we leave behind



down in leatherwood



country love's gonna steal your mind



and we ain't never gonna be blue, be blue



be blue,



be blue,



be blue
