(tom douglas/harlan howard)



Ever since I lost you babe

I've been here and there

Looking for some piece of mindcan't find it anywhere

I went down to tunicaplayed me a little blackjack

Saw a wino on the corner gave my winnings back



If it was just money

Babyi could make it

But living without you

Can I take it

All I see ahead of me

Is just melancholy blue

Cause I ain't got no future without you



I went down to austinlots of beautiful people there

Could have had a better adventurei just didn't care

Got a job in californiathey sure like my style

But there's something about that california sun

Reminds me of your smile



If it was just money

Babyi could make it

But living without you

Can I take it

All I see ahead of me

Is just melancholy blue

Cause I ain't got no future without you



Now and then I go back to biloxi

Whenever I feel brave

Visit that little country church down there

Lay some flowers on your grave

You sure got a hold on mei don't want to do

I ain't got no future

I can't see no future without you
