ABUSED USED BLUES - (Making Love So Unreal) © 2010 by Roger Dodge & Joe Gilley I loved a girl cute as could be, had her fill of the flaws in me; Couldn’t handle her selfish, aloof and running ‘round raising the roof. Walking out on abused used blues wore holes in the soles of our shoes, Still we walked the miles and went down the roads, A long time we carried the loads. Slight of hand in the cards we’d deal making love so unreal. Missed that girl as much as could be, She stopped keeping in touch with me. Living life without her smile always drove me crazy awhile, Cycle of anger, hurt, neglect; communication disconnect, Forcing me to figure out I was going to have to live without Any permanency to the love I feel. Nurturing love is a serious deal. I could not forget the girl as sweet as could be Who used to really like being with me. Love between us back at the start Filled an empty place deep in my heart, Swore I could beat those abused used blues, Straighten up and take her the news, That I was really back on my feet again. Blowing off love is a serious sin. She couldn’t know me better than I knew myself, Did not deserve being left on the shelf, Making love still gave me a thrill - losing love was so unreal. The girl I love as true as could be said she didn’t want to talk to me, And I was afraid to go up to her door Find love didn’t exist anymore. Wasn’t into empty pursuits when we talked about family roots, Me trusting her - her trusting me - both trusting GOD implicitly, Said “ I know the plan seems vague and surreal But there is a way to survive this ordeal”. I was a fool for sitting still, Not finding out the truth before I’m over the hill, Said “If there’s any fire left in the way you feel Turn it up ‘cause I sick of the chill. Running scared from abused used blues Has worn holes in my soul and my shoes, We shared our smiles and as it unfolds, Your going to be surprised at what the future holds”; But then it blew apart again on final appeal, Making love so unreal.
