Getting Even With The Blues

Written by: Tom Shapiro, Chris Waters and Terri Clark

I think I'm gonna smile for a while
Pull the curtain back and let some moonlight in
Gossip on the phone with my old friends
Like I used to do

I'm gonna put your memory away
Show this achin in my heart a thing or two
Cause tonight I'm getting even with the blues

--Chorus--

That lonely feelings had it's way
Ever since the day I heard you say goodbye
The hurting thinks its found a home
But I'm gonna let it know it ain't welcome here tonight

--End of Chorus--

Tomorrow that old cloud may come around
And there won't be anything that I can do
But tonight I'm getting even with the blues

---Chorus---

Tomorrow that old cloud may come around
And there won't be anything that I can do
But tonight I'm getting even with the blues
Oh, tonight I'm getting even with the blues


What Terri Clark Had to Say...

"This seems to be the favorite cut of everybody in the music industry that I've played this album for. And that's funny, because it's a very left-of-center song. I just thought it would be this different little gem that we'd tuck into the album. Vocally, it shows I can sing in a different style and not always do the same old thing. Mood-wise, it's a really mellow, fireplace thing. When you're relaxing with a glass of wine in the bubblebath, that's the kind of thing you like to hear." 1
