I got your postcard from Dallas
And you say you wonder if I'm doing alright
I'm glad you still think about us 
You don't have to worry now 
It hardly ever gets me down 

[Chorus]
I'm getting used to blue
I'll get used to getting over you 
I've been knocked around a time or two
I'm getting used to blue

I'll get me an unlisted number 
And I'll draw the curtains 
Like there's nobody home 
Find me a cloud to sit under 
Baby turn the TV on 
I gotta have a little fun

[Chorus]

You know it's gonna take some tears
It's gonna take some time to get this feeling 
I keep by my side 
Oh the way it had to fly

[Chorus]

Used to blue
I'll get used to getting over you 
I've been knocked around a time or two
I'm getting used to blue
