Wild and Blue
Love's Turmoil: Hank Williams Jr.'s Wild and Blue Unraveled
Lyrics
Way across town a phone rings off the wall
Someone's phone is ringing in a distant location.
If you know he ain't home why do you keep callin'
Questioning why the caller continues to call when it's known that the person being called is not at home.
You're gonna drive yourself crazy and you know that it's true
Warning the caller that obsessive calling will lead to mental distress.
It's just making you wild and blue
Repeated calling is causing emotional turmoil and sadness.
Wild and blue it's no wonder
Describing the emotional state as wild and blue.
You look at the things that you do
Reflecting on the caller's actions and their impact.
They could just take you up to yonder, honey
Suggesting that the caller's behavior could lead to trouble.
You're already wild and blue
Stating that the caller is already experiencing emotional distress.
In somebody's room on the far side of town
Describing a situation in a distant location where intimacy may be occurring.
With your minds all made up and the shades all pulled down
Indicating secrecy and privacy in the mentioned room.
Someone is trying just to satisfy you
Someone is attempting to satisfy the caller, possibly romantically.
He don't know you're wild and you're blue
The person in the room is unaware of the caller's emotional state.
Wild and blue it's no wonder
Reiterating the emotional state as wild and blue.
You look at the things that you do
Reflecting on the caller's actions and their consequences.
They could just take you up to yonder, honey
Warning that the caller's behavior could lead to trouble.
You're already wild and blue
Repeating that the caller is already experiencing emotional distress.
It's four in the morning and you're all alone
Describing a lonely moment at 4 in the morning.
With no place to go you know you ought to come home
Suggesting that the caller should return home.
And I'll be right here little baby waitin' for you
Expressing a willingness to wait for the caller to come back.
I know you've been wild and blue
Acknowledging that the caller has been through emotional turmoil.
Wild and blue and it's no wonder
Reiterating the emotional state as wild and blue.
You look at the things that you do
Reflecting on the caller's actions and their impact.
They could just take you up to yonder, honey
Warning that the caller's behavior could lead to trouble.
You're already wild and blue
Repeating that the caller is already experiencing emotional distress.
And they ought to just take you up to yonder, honey
Suggesting that the caller's actions could lead to trouble.
You're already wild and blue
Reiterating that the caller is already experiencing emotional distress.
