| Song | Killing the Blues |
| Artist | John Prine |
| Album | Pink Cadillac |
| Leaves were falling ..just like embers | |
| In colors red and gold they set us on fire | |
| Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes | |
| Chorus: | |
| Somebody said they saw me | |
| Swinging the world by the tail | |
| Bouncing over a white cloud. | |
| Killing the blues | |
| I am guilty of something | |
| I hope you never do because there is nothing | |
| Sadder than losing .. yourself in love | |
| Repeat chorus: | |
| Repeat chorus: | |
| Now, you ask me just to leave you | |
| To go out on my own and get what i need to | |
| You want me to find ..what i've already had | |
| Repeat chorus: | |
