Asleep At The Wheel
"Blood-Shot Eyes" lyrics

Blood-Shot Eyes

Now just because you're pretty
You think you're mighty wise
You tell me you love me
Then roll those big brown eyes
Last week when I saw you
Your eyes were turning black
Go find the guy that beat you up
Ask him to take you back

Don't roll those blood-shot eyes at me
I can tell you've been out on a spree
It's plain that you are lying
When you say you've been crying
Don't roll those blood-shot eyes at me

Yeah I used to spend my money
To dress you look real sweet
I wanted to be proud of you
When you walked down the street
Now don't ask me to dress you up
In satins and in silk
Your eyes look like two tomato
In a glass of buttermilk

Don't roll those blood-shot eyes at me
I can tell you've been out on a spree
It's plain that you are lying
When you say you've been crying
Don't roll those blood-shot eyes at me

Now I guess our little romance
Has finally simmered down
You should go join a circus
You'd make a real good clown
Your eyes look like a road map
And I'm scared to smell your breath
You'd better shut your peepers
Before you bleed to death

Don't roll those blood-shot eyes at me
I can tell you've been out on a spree
It's plain that you are lying
When you say you've been crying
Don't roll those blood-shot eyes at me
Don't roll those blood-shot eyes at me
