Swam across the Poncha, took a train to Cataloo / Opened up my guitar case and all the songs were blue / I haunted all the alleys / Lord, I drifted down the valleys / Honey, I’m just trying to find my way to you (Gregory Alan Isakov)

When the going is long gone and the kick drum won’t kick / When you fumble with your fiddle and you’re fresh out of tricks / And the horseflies are biting but the fish never do / And your heart’s a thousand colors but they’re all shades of blue (Gregory Alan Isakov)

So I count my blessings in this world of sin / The holes in the walls let the cold come in / Could I use your skin to keep me warm / So I might make it through the night (Alejandro Escovedo)
