[Verse 1]
Leaves were fallin' just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burnin' just like a moonbeam in our eyes

[Chorus]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues

[Verse 2]
Now I'm guilty of somethin'
I hope you never do because there is nothin'
Sadder than losin' yourself in love

[Chorus]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues

[Fiddle Solo]

[Chorus]
Oh, somebody said they saw me
Oh, swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues, yeah
Somebody said they saw me
Swingin' the world by the tail
Bouncin' over a white cloud
Killin' the blues

[Outro]
Killin' the blues
Killin' the blues
