Red White Blues

If you smile at me I'll follow where you go
 For a walk on cobble stones you'll have my soul
 When I see you paint the red white blues
 In high heel shoes, your beauty never ends
 When the morning comes my bed will still be warm
 When the thunder strikes we'll shelter from the storm
 When I see you paint the red white blues
 In high-heel shoes, your beauty never ends
 Stand by me, queen of hearts
 Walk with me, in revelry we'll never be apart
 Light might change just every colour
 But the red white blues will sway forever more
 You've tried to wrap your head right round it
 Her inviting smile's right on the dime
 But yesterday's burned to ashes
 And nostalgia's no longer a friend of mine
 She promised me a promised land
 So drink with me, in revelry we're always hand in hand
 I never got what I paid for
 But I am still coming around for more
 As your streets and made for dreamers
 Where the drifter and the gambler score
 And I'll follow you wherever you will go
 Down the dark and lonely hole inside your soul
 I'm your ally in a war with no victory
 If there's one thing I can tell you what is pretty ain't always sweet
 In the ashes of the promised land
 To the tunes of another crappy band
 How the west was lost but won in east
 How the red white blues still sway for you and me
