Flying Colors – Keith Whitley lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
When you walked out of my life
I didn’t think that I’d survive
Hope was growing dimmer day by day
But much to my surprise
Lord I made it out alive
An’ my world is looking anything but grey
I came through with flyin’ colors
A little black and blue
From the wear and tear
But love got the best of me
An’ I turn green with jealousy
When you made it crystal clear you did not care
I came through with flyin’ colors
My eyes are red from cryin’ the whole night through
I should win the Purple Heart
‘Cause you tore mine all apart
But I came through with flyin’ colors
After losin’ you
Yes I’ve got a yell’er streak
‘Cause I know your places weak
An’ I still get pale whenever you’re in sight
I may shade out of my mind
Oh but I’m not color blind
‘Cause I’ve learned that love ain’t only black and white
I came through with flyin’ colors
A little black and blue
From the wear and tear
But love got the best of me
An’ I turn green with jealousy
When you made it crystal clear you did not care
I came through with flyin’ colors
My eyes are red from cryin’ the whole night through
Oh I should win the Purple Heart
‘Cause you tore mine all apart
But I came through with flyin’ colors
After losin’ you
Oh I should win the Purple Heart
‘Cause you tore mine all apart
But I came through with flyin’ colors
After losin’ you
