Blue Black Friday

It was early Fall—you said you'd call
I thought that's what you'd do
Then came chilly nights—we lost the light
Still no rendezvous

Thanksgiving's here with too much wine and beer
Family drama, nothing new
And it'll be a blue black Friday
If I don't spend it on you

Baby I'm feelin' down—will you shop around
Take the first free giveaway?
But the price is steep 'cause you'll get it cheap
And you don't need it anyway

You're a sparkly one—pretty, shiny fun
A man-made tinsel tree
Guess you were built to last 'cause you can't hold fast
Can't I just buy one—get one free?

Now they'll string the lights—they'll be money fights
The Christmas spirit through and through
And just another blue black Friday
If I don't spend it on you

(piano solo)

Don't sit down too fast my future ghost of Christmas past
No lasting value tried or true
There's gonna be a blue black Friday
And I won't spend it on you
You know I coulda spent it on you
I wish I'd spent it on you
