Bloody Merry Morning
Danny Davis & Willie Nelson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, it's a bloody Mary morning
Baby left me without warning
Sometime in the night
So I'm flyin' down to Houston
Forgetting her's the nature of my flight

As we taxi toward the runway
With the smog and haze
Reminding me of how I feel
Just a country boy who's learnin'
That the pitfalls of the city
Are extremely real

All the night life and the parties
And temptation and deceit
The order of the day
Well it's a bloody Mary mornin'
'Cause I'm leavin' baby somewhere in LA

Well, it's a bloody Mary morning
Baby left me without warning
Sometime in the night
So I'm flyin' down to Houston
Forgetting her's the nature of my flight

Our golden jet is airborne
And flight fifty cuts a path
Across the mornin' sky
And a voice comes through the speaker
Reassuring us flight fifty
Is the way to fly

And a hostess takes our order
Coffee, tea or something stronger
To start off the day
Well it's a bloody Mary morning
'Cause I'm leavin' baby somewhere in LA

Well, it's a bloody Mary morning
Baby left me without warning
Sometime in the night
So I'm flyin' down to Houston
Forgetting her's the nature of my flight




Yeah I'm flyin' down to Houston
Forgetting her's the nature of my flight
