Lyrics

Blonde Blue Eyes

                   Blonde Blue Eyes


I came in past closing time
Dust on my boots, hurt on my mind
She was swayin’ by the jukebox glow
Blonde hair pinned, movin’ slow
I never asked for a cure that night
Just a little peace under colored light
Then she smiled like she knew my name
And the whole room changed

She said Come on, cowboy
With a hand held out
I took one step
And i forgot about
Blonde blue eyes
Pull me in
Blonde blue eyes
Start me over again
In her arms I found my home
Blonde blue eyes
Don’t let me go

We cut the floor in a two-step turn
Heel to heel, let the old hurt burn
Her laugh hit hard as a Sunday bell
Made a lonely man do well
I felt young in my creased-up shirt
Heart wide open, boots in the dirt
She leaned close
said stay a while
And I stayed in her smile

She said Come on, cowboy
With a hand held out
I took one step
And i forgot about
Blonde blue eyes
Pull me in
Blonde blue eyes
Start me over again
In her arms I found my home
Blonde blue eyes 
Don’t let me go
  {Blonde blue eyes} 

Maybe love don’t arrive
With a grand parade
Maybe it walks right up
In a satin dress and says hey
So I held her close
Let the record spin
A lonely old heart
Started up again

Blonde blue eyes
Pull me in
Blonde blue eyes
Start me over again
In her arms I found my home
Blonde blue eyes
Don’t let me go
  {Blonde blue eyes} 
Blonde blue eyes
Right here tonight
  {Blonde blue eyes} 
Blonde blue eyes
You make it right
  {Blonde blue eyes} 

I Thought We'd Outrun Time

I THOUGHT WE'D OUTRUN TIME


Friday night at a honky-tonk table

Laughin' with friends, just another night

Then you sat down and changed the whole story

With one sweet smile in the neon light

The band struck up an old-time waltz

I held my breath and crossed that line

I asked, "Would you care to dance with me?"

You said, "I'd love to," and I thought you were mine


We danced through the years like we danced that night

Holdin' on tight, spinnin' under the lights

Cruisin' blue waters, leavin' worries behind

You and me, baby, I thought we'd outrun time



We built a life full of postcards and memories

Sunsets and laughter from sea to shore

Every day felt like a gift from heaven

And every year I loved you more

But mirrors don't lie and calendars keep count

I could see what was comin' long before

The seasons were kinder to you than me

And one day you walked out that door



I don't blame you, darlin'

Love's a hard thing to explain

Some hearts chase tomorrow

While some hold yesterday


We danced through the years like we danced that night

Holdin' on tight, spinnin' under the lights

Cruisin' blue waters, leavin' worries behind

You were my forever, but I couldn't outrun time



Now when that old waltz starts playin'

I still see you in my mind

Crossin' that floor in the neon glow

The night I thought we'd outrun time
