Stephen Kellogg - Blue Jean Lyrics lyrics

rate me

I know you don't like when I say this

It was there in the letter you sent

I've been so long in this shadow

I've been wondering where the light went

I've been wondering where the light went in this home

You know lately I've been feeling so alone

He was 19, I called him "Blue Jean"

He was his parent's first accident

He had long hair, drove like a nightmare

And I followed him everywhere he went

He played the guitar, watched all the big stars

Moved away after one year of school

Joined in the Marines, made it about 8 weeks

But to me, he was the epitome of cool

When you're young you can go either way

For my part, I believed in you then

But it's been so long since we saw what you looked like

And these days I don't fight anyone

The mail came on a Monday, hurt in the worst way

Said that he'd been busted up in Maine

Now he's doing 8 years, it's all of our worst fears

And this family here ain't never been the same
