I was running around all over town, fences couldn't keep me in
All my buddies said I'd be lucky if I could out run my sins
It's like I was saved from the hell I raised when my gaze locked on you
Said I'd hate to make those green eyes blue
This wild and free sob, was out there on the loose
Closing bars and stealing hearts, just like outlaws do
But girl I swear, I left that there the day I met you
Cause I'd hate to make those green eyes blue
I'll admit that I was in, deep as the ocean floor
But right on queue, that irish hue shook me to the core
Never seen a shade that strong
Like a rain washed leaf in June
Yea I'd hate to make those green eyes blue
This wild and free sob, was out there on the loose
Closing bars and stealing hearts, just like outlaws do
But girl I swear, I left that there the day I met you
Cause I'd hate to make those green eyes blue
Yea I'd hate to make those green eyes blue
This wild and free sob, was out there on the loose
Closing bars and stealing hearts, just like outlaws do
But girl I swear, I left that there the day I met you
Cause I'd hate to make those green eyes blue
This ain't my soul like a stained glass Sunday
I'm baptized in your view
Yea I'd hate to make those green eyes blue
