A sad, downbeat life story somewhat redeemed by one of the best melodies I've come up with...if I say so myself!

Original jangly guitar pop. Sometimes gets a little bluesy or jazzy.

Story behind the song
An homage to Ray Charles (I wrote this shortly after he passed away)
Lyrics
Born blue, heartaches and sorrow Are things I've always known Never seemed to find my place in this world In the biggest crowd I can feel all alone Born blue, and longing For a home I can never find And none of my friends can see what's the matter with me They say it's all in my mind You gotta stop all this foolishness Get that junk out of your head Maybe you wouldn't be so downhearted If you didn't spend so many nights Painting the town red Born blue, and so tired Of making my way by myself Ah, but love is a luxury and a mystery too To a person that's born blue I don't believe in happy endings I don't believe in second acts You can call it negativity I call it acceptance of the cold, hard facts Born blue and lonesome Guess it'll be that way until I die Well it's not the way I planned it But there's nothing I can do 'Cause I was born blue
