Well, I came home for Christmas, but I was too late
The presents were opened, all the bones on the plate
Well, you heard about Christmas in the month of December
It might get you down, but you got to remember
When the rain comes down just like a hammer
When the cold wind rips through your life just like a dagger
When the car won't start, and the bus won't stop
And you're stranded on Blue Avenue
Well, it's nothing mysterious, it's nothing new... yeah
Well she came from Missouri to the land of fast cars
Searching for something, auditioning for parts
She paid with her beauty, her innocence slayed
She took it so hard, until someone explained
When the rain comes down just like a hammer
When the cold wind rips through your life just like a dagger
When they break your heart, yeah and tear you apart
Leave you stranded on Blue Avenue
Well, it's not like these things only happen to you
It's just traditional misery that we all go through
You're not alone, how could you have known
It's nothing mysterious, it's nothing new
So we stumble our way into the new year
The usual confusion, but one thing is clear
It's all laughter and sadness and the advice
It just is what it is, yeah, but it ain't no surprise
When the rain comes down just like a hammer
When the cold wind rips through your life just like a dagger
When they break your heart, yeah and tear you apart
Leave you stranded on Blue Avenue
Well, it's nothing mysterious, it's nothing new
