Lyrics Merle Haggard – Blue Jungle

Daylight Monday morning turning off the Great White Way
Through the smoke and haze the city starts its day
It’s a day to day survival in the battle zone
And a blue jungle with you gone

It’s a blue jungle with you gone
It’s a cold empty city when you walk these streets alone
Like a world past is screaming when you hear the whistle moan
And a blue jungle with you gone

The weekend party’s over and I’m sober once again
And it’s hard to face the world without my friends
And it’s a dog eat dog existence just to make it on your own
And a blue jungle with you gone

It’s a blue jungle with you gone
It’s a cold empty city when you walk these streets alone
Like a world past is screaming when you hear the whistle moan
It’s a blue jungle with you gone
And it’s a blue jungle with you gone
