Queen of the Blue Ridge (1979)It was over twenty years ago We met in that bar in Blowing Rock We played quarters in a corner booth And put a few in the jukebox Later we drove around in my car Drinking whiskey out of paper cups By the time we got back to her dorm The sun was about to come up She wrote down her telephone number I kissed her twice and promised to call As I drove back to Winston-Salem The temperature began to fall Chorus: I can still see the snow that fell I can almost count every flake Each one a memory we should have had Each one a chance I didn’t take But for a short time she was mine Queen of the Blue Ridge 1979 I called her a few times after that And learned to love the sound of her voice But she was the Queen of the Blue Ridge So she had to make a tough choice Cause pretty girls have lots of suitors And I was just a voice on the phone We almost had something that mattered But it gets cold when you’re alone Chorus: I can still see the snow that fell I can almost count every flake Each one a memory we should have had Each one a chance I didn’t take But for a short time she was mine Queen of the Blue Ridge 1979 Bridge: How those Mountaineer girls can love She’s never far from my thoughts In my mind we’re still playing quarters In a bar called P.B. Scott’s Chorus: I can still see the snow that fell I can almost count every flake Each one a memory we should have had Each one a chance I didn’t take But for a short time she was mine Queen of the Blue Ridge 1979 Copyright Kent Newsome and Ronnie Jeffrey All Rights Reserved |
