Flyin' Colors (Keith Whitley)When you walked out of my life
I didn't think that I'd survive
Hope was growing dimmer day by dayBut much to my surprise
Lord I made it out alive
An' my world is looking anything but greyI came through with flyin' colors
A little black and blue
From the wear and tear
But love got the best of me
An' I turn green with jealousy
When you made it crystal clear you did not care
I came through with flyin' colors
My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through
I should win the Purple Heart
'Cause you tore mine all apart
But I came through with flyin' colors
After losin' youYes I've got a yell'er streak
'Cause I know your places weak
An' I still get pale whenever you're in sightI may shade out of my mind
Oh but I'm not color blind
'Cause I've learned that love ain't only black and whiteI came through with flyin' colors
A little black and blue
From the wear and tear
But love got the best of me
An' I turn green with jealousy
When you made it crystal clear you did not care
I came through with flyin' colors
My eyes are red from cryin' the whole night through
Oh I should win the Purple Heart
'Cause you tore mine all apart
But I came through with flyin' colors
After losin' youOh I should win the Purple Heart
'Cause you tore mine all apart
But I came through with flyin' colors
After losin' you
