Blue Tarp Blues - Sonny Landreth, Mark Knopfler

Air Force One had a heck of a view

Air Force One had a heck of a view

Looking down on the patchwork of the blue tarp blues.

I went Walkin through the water

Sprung a leak in my shoes

I went Walkin through the water

Sprung a leak in my shoes

That hole in my soul

Give me the blue tarp blues.

I got the blues

I got the blue blue tarp blues.

There’s a crack in the ceiling and the system too

There’s a crack in the ceiling and the system too

We ain’t got no coverage of the blue tarp blues.

I got the blues

I got the blue blue tarp blues.

I got the blues

I got the blue blue tarp blues.

No it wasn’t the weather that shamed?

me and you

It was a bad fix of politics screaming through

That levee lock couldn’t hold back the truth

We’re in deep but not out of the reach

Loan me something, mister.

I’m gonna fly my colors and watch for you

I’m gonna fly my colors and watch for you

Like a flag of hope, but the blue tarp blues

I got the blues

I got the blue blue tarp blues.

I got the blues

I got the blue blue tarp blues.
