I Look Good in Blue d.o.c. 10/12/2023 Tim O'Brien / No Bad Ham Music / ASCAP / Jan Fabricius /BMI

I always liked the color, and I always use to wear it
When I played the old piano, in the honky tonks and bars
I would sing a song, order gin, and then I’d share it
And hope to fill that tip jar before the night was through
-I look good in blue

The only thing I want in my gin is juniper berry
You can keep your coriander and your grains of paradise
I don’t need a funeral home or your lonesome cemetery
Just fill my glass with Gordon’s, the Bombay Sapphire’s all for you.
-I look good in blue
INSTRUMENTAL
As the final sunset of my life comes nearer to the end
My family gathers ‘round me and we sing Amazing Grace
So pour from every bottle, now let’s drink up all of the gin
Save that sapphire bottle and pour my ashes in
-I look good in blue don’t I?
(her sons sing) She looks good in blue x 3
You can keep your grandma in that bottle and bury me six feet under
Or put me on the book shelf
Drop me in the ocean or Grand Canyon, I don’t care, I won’t be there
-I look good in blue
