Dress Blues – Jessie G

Lyrics of Jessie G – Dress Blues

(Verse)
Sun shining through the trees the leaves all gone
The days stopped short and the nights grew long
We were young, having fun with nothing to loose
When he signed 3 years in combat boots

(Verse)
I never knew hanging on could mean letting him go
You don’t have a say when the war we says so
We rushed down to the courthouse and said I do
A white secondhand dress and your dress blues

(Chorus)
Oh I wanna lay you down
Stay by your side till we’re homeward bound
I’ve never felt the way I do
Seeing you there in your dress blues

(Verse)
The letters took weeks that felt like years
And their hard to read through lonesome tears
A man came knocking and I swore it was you
He broke my heart in his dress blues

(Chorus)
Oh I will lay you down
Lay by your side when I’m homeward bound
I’ve never felt the way I do
Seeing you there in your dress blues

(Verse)
Sun glaring through the trees the leaves all gone
The sound of guns and a bugle song
One head stone on a plot for two
A long black dress and your dress blues

(Chorus)
Oh I will lay you down
Lay by your side when I’m homeward bound
I’ve never felt the way I do
Seeing you there in your dress blues
