Blue Jungle - Merle Haggard

Daylight Monday morning turning off the Great White Way

Through the smoke and haze the city starts its day

It’s a day to day survival in the battle zone

And a blue jungle with you gone

It’s a blue jungle with you gone

It’s a cold empty city when you walk these streets alone

Like a world past is screaming when you hear the whistle moan

And a blue jungle with you gone

The weekend party’s over and I’m sober once again

And it’s hard to face the world without my friends

And it’s a dog eat dog existence just to make it on your own

And a blue jungle with you gone

It’s a blue jungle with you gone

It’s a cold empty city when you walk these streets alone

Like a world past is screaming when you hear the whistle moan

It’s a blue jungle with you gone

And it’s a blue jungle with you gone
