Verses
Riff 1
I'm falling off the barstool mama
In this old ghost town saloon
Where sunlight moves like sadness across the room

Oh my sweet mama
If you could only see me now
Drunk as a skunk falling out of this rundown lacy gown 

Chorus
Gm   F      C   
This blue ink 
This blue ink
This blue ink
Gm      F     C     Gm  F     C
Across the page I write to you 

Verses
I'm sitting in these thorny cowboy boots and
Scabby knees
Wondering why I left you mama just to do as I please
No hat has a brim wide enough to block out the blazing sun
I met the devil on the road but I had no legs to run 

Chorus
Gm   F      C   
This blue ink 
This blue ink
This blue ink
Gm      F     C     Gm  F     C
Across the page I write to you 

Verses
Silver ran off two towns ago I been walking alone
I been walking slow my eyes are dry from the desert wind
I know I ain't coming home to you again

Bridge
Gm        F                      C
I'll take off into the deep blue sky
Gm                  F                    C
When I'm dead and gone and the buzzards fly
Gm           F              C              C    
This blue ink across the page I write to you
Gm                F                       C 
Mama if you love me you're the only one who do
