LYRICS
The highway is for gamblers,
Use your sense.
Take what you have gathered
With substance.
Yonder stands your orphan
With his gun;
Crying like a fire
In the sun.
Look out babe,
The sky is falling through.
And it's all over now,
Baby Blue.
 Leave your stepping stones behind,
Girl, start anew.
Forget about the debts you owe,
They will not follow you.
Your lover who has just walked
Through that door,
Has taken all his blankets
From your floor.
Look out babe,
The carpet's falling over you
And you know it's all over now,
Baby Blue.
 Well, strike the match girl.
Courage.
Go start anew.
And it's all over now,
Baby Blue, yeah.
It's all over, all over now,
Baby Blue, yeah.
It's all over, all over,
All over Baby Blue.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
