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 still red
Her folks they said their lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like mama's homemade dress
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough
And he was (1)________________ on the side of the road
Rain falling on my shoes
Heading out for the east coast
Lord knows 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 (2)____________ too much force
And they drove that 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 over his shoulder
"We'll meet (3)__________ someday on the avenue"
Tangled up in blue

He had a job in Santa Fe
Working in an old hotel
But he never did like it all that much
And one day it just went 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 while he was alone
The past was close behind
He seen a lot of women
But she never escaped his mind
And he just grew
Tangled up in blue

She was working in a topless place
And I (4)______________ in for a beer
I just kept looking at the sight of her face
In the spotlight so clear
And later on when the crowd (5)______________ out
I was just (6)__________ to do the same
She was standing there right beside my chair
Said, "Don't tell me, let me guess your name?"
I muttered something underneath my breath
She studied the lines on my face
I must admit I (7)________ a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Tangled up in blue

I (8)__________ with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air
Then he started into dealing (9)________ slaves
And something inside of him died
She had to sell (10)____________________ she owned
And froze up inside
And when it all came crashing down
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep 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 they 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 from a different point of view
Tangled up in blue
