Lyrics - Blue Skies Blue skies over my head Give me another reason to get out of bed Blue skies is a'shining in my face Give me another woman to take her place Ain't got no money and the cupboards are bare No cigarettes and the kids got nothing to wear She walked out without a word Now the only sound left is a kinda sweet morning bird Singing blue skies over my head Give me another reason to get out of bed Blue skies is a'shining in my face Oh give me another woman to take her place That woman stuck by me through thick and through thin I'd call her hungry, well she'd smile and let me in But she wanted those fine things and those nights on the town Well it looks to me like she let me down Blue skies over my head You gotta give me another reason to get out of bed Blue skies is a'shining in my face You gotta give me another woman to take her place Gotta give me another woman to take her place
