 At the blue cafe
 At the blue cafe
 At the blue cafe

 The phone started ringin'
 At a quarter to nine
 I got a lump in my throat
 And a chill up my spine
 I swear I didn't know if those keys
 On the counter where mine
 Operator said I got a call collect
 From San Diego County
 And I started to sweat
 The voice came on the line and said
 "Babe, I hope you didn't forget"

 I'm at the Blue Cafe
 Rockin' my life away
 [bad word] down and catch me if you can
 Down at the Blue Cafe
 Troubles are miles away
 And [bad word] down babe yes I am

 Hopped In my car
 And said "Man alive"
 There was not a soul movin'
 On the 405
 I thought to myself
 Hey, I need to make a change of plans
 I got the call-waiting
 It was just my luck
 And I tried you back again
 But you didn't pick up
 And it left me with a burnin' question
 In the back of mind

 Will I make it to the Blue Cafe
 Rock my life away
 I got to catch you if I can
 Down at the Blue Cafe
 Troubles are miles away
 And I [bad word] #39; down, baby yes I am

 [bad word] #39; down the road in a Mercury
 Steel goes 95 with three-in-the-tree
 I saw the blue lights from the sign
 on the car up ahead
 [bad word] #39; through the door
 Man I just wasn't thinkin'
 I said where is that chick
 I was with all night drinkin'
 They said, "Man she's gone
 She just left in that old Hot Rod Lincoln"

 I'm at the Blue Cafe
 Rockin' my life away
 [bad word] down and catch me if you can
 Down at the Blue Cafe
 Troubles are miles away
 And [bad word] down babe yes I am

 Will I make it to the Blue Cafe
 Rock my life away
 I got to catch you if I can
 Down at the Blue Cafe
 Troubles are miles away
 And I [bad word] #39; down, baby yes I am

 At the blue cafe
 At the blue cafe
 At the blue cafe
 At the blue cafe
