the foreign lovechild ice hockey blues
words and music by fireball
I got the blues. I got the blues.
I got the blues. I got the blues.
I got the blues. I got the blues.
I got the blues. I got the blues.

I've been living in a foreign country ever since I ran away
Things got cold and weird and ugly and fell apart on our wedding day
Now I haven't found the road back home, back to the USA
It's a long road, in case you ain't heard the news.
I got the blues.
baby's just like the arctic circle, could be ice cold or smoking hot
I still got this ring on my finger, but that's about all I got
Maybe little Waldo is my baby, and then again maybe not
I don't know what boxes to check or what forms to use
I got the lovechild blues.
I'm blue from the woman and the great white north and the rum
I don't know who waldo is... or what country he's from
I don't know if my estranged wife's still psychotic... or if she just thinks i'm dumb
I am so confused
I got the foreign lovechild blues
I got her voice on my machine, remember every word she said.
I want my maybe-son to be a man... he wants to play ice hockey instead
I still got a buzzing in my brain from a stray puck to the head.
lonesome motel tv let's me watch the USA lose
I got the foreign lovechild ice hockey blues.
