Out of the Blue
Bob Howard

Verse 1:
Out of the blue, my friend Patrick called, he'd been moon to us all
Forty years, working the stockyards, living on Marian Street, still holding Roxanne's hand
we hadn't talked since i left Omaha, as far as I knew I was going, to Viet Nam
my lucky number was 57 Moon found heaven closer to home

Chorus:
i found my heaven on the road, followed the sun sets, to oceans blue, the moon, stayed at home, golden fields and white skies, each heaven to their own

Verse 2:
out of the blue, Janet calls from Texas, she lives in Pflugerville.
she was my queen of the tastee freeze, after school, my heaven, was framed in neon blue,
after all these years, she's only 18 miles, from South Congress Avenue
the jukebox is gone, and her curly blonde hair, when she danced, a touch of blue filled the air

Break:

Verse 3:
out of the blue, my draft was cancelled dick nixon made my day,
i never went to Viet Nam, everything i owned--I packed --in the backseat--of my--red beetle, ragtop
interstate 35 to San Marcos, after three years ,the california coast
out on the road, out on the edge, i took my chances, heaven leaned close

Last:
Out of the blue
