Flying Colors

Flyin' Colors (Keith Whitley)
 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
