Tangled Up In Blue (Live) by Bob Dylan

Early one morning, the sun was shinin'
She was layin' in bed
Wondering if she'd changed it all
If her hair was (1)__________ red
Her folks they (2)________ their lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did (3)________ mama's homemade dress
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough
And he was standing on the side of the road
Rain (4)______________ on my shoes
Heading out for the east coast
Lord (5)__________ he's paid some dues
Getting through
Tangled up in blue

She was married when they first met
Soon to be divorced
He helped her out of a jam, I guess
But he used a little too much force
And they drove (6)________ car as far as they could
Abandoned it out west
Split up on a dark, sad night
Both agreeing it was best
And she turned around to look at him
As he was walking away
Saying (7)________ his shoulder
"We'll meet again (8)______________ on the avenue"
Tangled up in blue

He had a job in Santa Fe
Working in an old hotel
But he (9)__________ did like it all (10)________ much
And one day it just (11)________ to hell
So he drifted down to New Orleans
Lucky not to be destroyed
Well he got him a job on a fishing boat
Right outside of Delacroix
But all the (12)__________ he was alone
The past was close behind
He seen a lot of women
But she never escaped his mind
And he (13)________ grew
Tangled up in blue

She was working in a topless place
And I stopped in for a beer
I just kept looking at the sight of her face
In the spotlight so clear
And (14)__________ on when the crowd thinned out
I was (15)________ about to do the same
She was standing there right beside my chair
Said, "Don't tell me, let me guess (16)________ name?"
I muttered something underneath my breath
She studied the lines on my face
I must admit I felt a (17)____________ uneasy
When she (18)________ down to tie the laces of my shoe
Tangled up in blue

I lived (19)________ them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the cafes at night
And (20)____________________ in the air
Then he started into (21)______________ with slaves
And something inside of him died
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside
And when it all came (22)________________ down
I became withdrawn
The only (23)__________ I (24)________ how to do
Was to (25)________ on keeping on like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue

So now I'm going back again
I got to get her somehow
All the faces we used to know
They're an illusion to me now
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives
Don't know how it all got started
I don't what (26)________ do with their lives
But me, I'm still on the road
Heading for another joint
We always did feel the same
We just saw it (27)________ a (28)__________________ point of view
Tangled up in blue
