Sunset Eyes

  • Verse 1
    Drove past the diner where we used to meet
    Your old Ford parked on the side of that street
    Sky was burnin’, sun settin’ low
    I swear our song was on the radio

    Pre-Chorus
    Every corner feels like you’d appear
    But I’m just chasin’ smoke in the rear mirror

    Chorus
    Sunset skies, we were wild and free
    Dreamin’ big with a tank on E
    Laughin’ loud like the world was ours
    You kissed me hard under those Tupelo stars
    Now it’s headlights, dark roads and late-night bars
    I’d give anything for those back street skies
    Starin’ at you with those sunset eyes

    Verse 2
    I keep mistakin’ strangers standin’ in line
    For the girl who stole this heart of mine
    Every lost memory cuts me deep
    Honey, there are some nights I never sleep

    Pre-Chorus
    Every mile I drive I swear that you are near
    Guess I’m chasin’ smoke in the rear mirror

    Chorus
    Sunset skies, we were wild and free
    Dreamin’ big with a tank on E
    Laughin’ loud like the world was ours
    You kissed me hard under those Tupelo stars
    Now it’s headlights, dark roads and late-night bars
    I’d give anything for those back street skies
    Starin’ at you with those sunset eyes

    Bridge
    Windows down, I still hear your name
    Jenny, I know it just ain’t the same
    Time moves on, but my heart just stays
    Where we let it go that balmy summer day

    Final Chorus
    Sunset skies, we were wild and free
    Dreamin’ big with a tank on E
    Laughin’ loud like the world was ours
    You kissed me hard under those Tupelo stars
    Now it’s headlights, dark roads and late-night bars
    I’d give anything for those back street skies
    Starin’ at you with those sunset eyes

    Outro
    Still chasin’ those sunset eyes…
    I’ll be chasin’ those back street skies…
