Green Eyed Boy Blues

ABOUT THE SONG
This is the first blues song in my repertoire and it was kind of inspired by “Oh Darling” by The Beatles. I wrote it in the summer of 2008 after a fling with a guy who was still heartbroken over another girl. It’s basically me lamenting over that, and letting him know that I would be there for him throughout his heartbreak for her, even if I could't completely fill her shoes. One thing I noticed in retrospect about this song is that there isn't really a recognizable hook or chorus and I'm not really sure that it needs one, which is the only song that I have ever written that I have felt that way about. I like it the way it is...

Verse 1:
His heart could use a little fixin’
because I want it for my own
You think that I would learn my lesson
Familiar hearts are where I find myself home

Chorus:
And baby sometimes I know I am not that smart
but if theres one thing that I know
It’s that I’ll never make you cry, o no
Let’s take this one day at a time
So you can be mine

Verse 2:
His soul could use a little lovin’
His jaded heart wears him away
And if the pushin comes to shovin
I’d take his heart because she threw it away

Chorus:
And baby sometimes I know I am not that smart
but if theres one thing that I know
It’s that I’ll never make you cry, o no
Let’s take this one day at a time
So you can be mine

(Instrumental Break)

Chorus:
And baby sometimes I know these things fall apart
but if theres one thing that I know
I’ll never break your heart, o no
You can mark my word right from the very start
Until the day she wants you back…
I’ll stay….
