I transcribed this from a sound sample:

I WON'T BE BLUE ANYMORE
(Dan Seals)

I won't be blue anymore. I'll go out on the town,
And I'll take all my friends to every honky tonk around,
And they'll help me forget you and the way it used to be.

Well, she started in to spend my money.
She started in to call me honey.
We took in every honky tonk in town.
