"Connecticut Blues" lyrics

"Connecticut Blues"

I put some potatoes in to bake
Picked up a couple of real nice steaks
I'm chillin' her favorite Chilean wine
Everything was right on time
But she won't be comin' home tonight
They canceled the flight

Now you can imagine my disappointment in hearin' that
Looks like dinner's just gonna be me and a cat
This has happened to me just too many times
I feel like I'm payin' for somebody else's crime
So as I sip the wine and whine
I got the low-down, snow-bound Connecticut blues

The part I love to hate the most
Is getting more of somethin' I can't use

I've got tears runnin' down my face
I've got blues all over the place
The good times just won't let me in
I tried over and over again
So as I sip the wine and whine
I got them low-down, snow-bound Connecticut blues
