The Last Town I Painted - George Jones

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 red 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
