When The Blues And My Baby Collide

He walks in from the factory

Dirt on his hands, dead on his feet

There's no mistaking that look in his eyes

When the blues and my baby collide

Could be the boss, could be the bills

Could be the car that winter just killed

I see the hurt he thinks he hides

When the blues and my baby collide

That's when I want to hold him and tell him I love him

Say, "Baby, everything is gonna be all right"

Let him know I've been thinking of him

I'm right here by his side when the blues and my baby collide

He's got a will of iron and a heart of gold

But this old world sure does get cold

Sometimes the wreck is part of the ride

When the blues and my baby collide

That's when I want to hold him and tell him I love him

Say, "Baby, everything is gonna be all right"

Let him know I've been thinking of him

I'm right here by his side when the blues and my baby collide
