Blue Ain't So Bad

I've been lost and cold and lonely in the blackest stormy night

I've seen myself so frightened that it damn near turned me white

I've been turning green with envy, I've been burning red with rage

I've been trapped just like a songbird in a golden metal cage

I've been scarlet with a fever, a pink rose without a thorn

I've been yellow as a coward, gray and gloomy when I mourn

So of all the different colors that you know I've ever had

I'm beginning to suspect right now that blue just ain't so bad

Now I sure ain't feelin' groovy when I'm sportin' that tie dye

And them horizontal stripes here are about to make me cry

Don't cover me in checkers, even though I'm feeling board
