Ever since I lost you babe, I've been here and there
Looking for some piece of mind, can't find it anywhere
I went down to Tunica, played me a little blackjack
Saw a wino on the corner, gave my winnings backIf it was just money, baby, I could make it
But living without you, can I take it
All I see ahead of me is just melancholy blue
'Cause I ain't got no future without youI went down to Austin, lots of beautiful people there
Could have had a better adventure, I just didn't care
Got a job in California, they sure like my style
But there's something about that California sun
Reminds me of your smileIf it was just money, baby, I could make it
But living without you, can I take it
All I see ahead of me is just melancholy blue
'Cause I ain't got no future without you
