I wish I had a blue guitar,

A blue guitar to play all night long.

Singing songs of loss and love.

Singing songs till morning comes.



Ghosts in the basement

Screams from the kitchen

I tell you folks I'm leaving.

Seems I can already hear the door slammin'.

I tell you folks I think I'm leavin'.



Goodbye to the highway

Goodbye to the sky

I'm headed out goodbye, goodbye.

Goodbye to the highway

Goodbye to the sky

I'm headed our goodbye, goodbye.



I wish I had a blue guitar,

A blue guitar to play all night long.

I wish I had a blue guitar,

A blue guitar to let you know somehow

You are not needed now.
