Sky Blue Eyes

Music by Jeanie Flowers
Lyrics by Daniel Flowers

Nineteen years of age I woke up one day
Tossed my broom and dustpan to the side
Looked in the eyes of my dear old mom and papa
I said, please don’t cry but today I start my life

Ten thousand acres, fifty miles from Modown
A great big house at least two acres wide
Well, he’s six feet tall with hair of gold, and eyes as blue as sky
He asked me and I said I’d be his bride

Together we will tame the devil’s hand
Break the wildness here and make our stand
Then ride into the sunset of his sky blue eyes
And will not stop until we’ve cleared this land

Five thousand cattle take their toll on a cowboy
When he gets home he’s barely half alive
But I said I’d stand beside him if only for those blue eyes
‘Cause when he asked I swore I’d be his wife

Together we would tame the devil’s hand
Break the wildness here and make our stand
Then ride into the sunset of his sky blue eyes
And would not stop until we cleared this land
Oh, but if we don’t stop how much can we stand

Oh, I work so hard to make his home a place to hide away
Longing for his touch when he returns to me each day
Oh, but anger and frustration sent him running to the bottle
Oh, I cannot stay
Oh, I’m sorry love, I fear I cannot stay

Oh, we tried but could not tame the devil’s hand
Or break the wildness, though we made our stand
So I’ll ride into the sunset without your sky blue eyes
Oh, and I will not stop until I’ve cleared this land
Oh, and I cannot stop until I’ve cleared this land
