Blue Eyes

Gram Parsons

Sometimes I get upset when people treat me bad 
I don't have time to think and so I get real mad 
I pull my hair and find somewhere that I can be alone 
But when I do I think of you and then I hurry home 

Where I've got chores to keep me busy 
A clock to keep my time 
A pretty girl to love me 
With the same last name as mine 
And when the flowers wilt 
A big old quilt to keep us warm 
I've got the sun to see your blue eyes 
And tonight you're in my arms 

Sometimes I get unwound when fancy cars drive past 
Money don't get me down but I can't make it last 
I bite my nails and if that fails I go get myself 
stoned 
But when I do I think of you and head myself back home 

Where I've got chores to keep me busy

A big old quilt to keep us warm

And tonight you're in my arms

Sometimes I get unwound when fancy cars drive past 
Money don't get me down but I can't make it last 
I bite my nails and if that fails I go get myself 
stoned
