I was running around all over town
Fences couldn't keep me in
All my buddies said
I'd be lucky if I could outrun 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, 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 iris hue shook me to the core
Never seen a shade that strong
Like a rain washed leaf in June
Yeah, I'd hate to make those green eyes blue

This wild and free SOB was out there on the loose
Closing bars, 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
Yeah, I'd hate to make those green eyes blue

This wild and free SOB, was out there on the loose
Closing bars, 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
Yeah, I'd hate to make those green eyes blue
Green eyes blue
