| Written by Toby Keith and Scott Emerick
See that big blue note
Over there on the counter?
You don't wanna read that thingman
It's a real get-you-downer.
But don't you dare say nothin' else
Bad about her: she's gone.
Nonononodon'tdon't throw it away
'Cause tonightI might need it.
It gets real lonely around here at night some times
An' I have to read read it.
Besidesyou can show it to the boys down town
They won't believe that she's gone.
There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted.
All the man that she'll ever need.
I come home to findjust like thatshe's up an' vanished.
An' the only thing she left behind for me:
Is this big blue note
Folded up in my pocket.
Yeahdon't laugh: it's been two months;
I still got it.
Sometimes I have to read the sucker twice
Just to make sure I ain't forgot that she's gone.
You knowmy psychiatrist said:
"Tell mewhat do you see
"When you look at these inkspots
"Oferredsyellows an' greens?"
You knowI looked at 'em all
But they all looked to me like big blue notes.
Instrumental break.
There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted.
All the man that she'll ever need.
I come home to findjust like thatshe's up an' vanished.
An' the only thing that's left to do for me:
Is stand high on this cliff
Overlooking the sea.
With my big blue notepaper aeroplane
That I just set free.
An' I'm gonna wait here a few more minutes
An' if it don't come back to me:
You guessed it: she's gone.
Crash landing.
Bye byebaby.
To fade.
