George Jones The Last Town I Painted lyrics

I came home the other night
I've been out on a town
I searched talk through the house
She was not around

I finally found her note it read
"This is goodbye to you"
And that's the last town I painted
And I painted it blue

Now that I have lost her
I don't want to live
I done all the takin'
I didn't want to give

Time has come it's plain to see
The devil must pay his dues
And that's the last town I painted
And I painted it blue

I still go to the tavern

That I went to before
I search for the fun I had
It's not there anymore

If I could have her back again
I know I would be true
'Cause the last town I painted
I painted it blue

Now blue is not my favorite color
'Cause it makes me sad
Why I asked for all these blues
When I'm usin' too much red?

I've got a lotta troubles
No one to tell it to
'Cause the last town I painted
I painted it blue
