I ain’t afraid to try a new thing
and I ain’t afraid to fail,
and when I get the opportunity,
you know that I ain’t afraid to bail.
Cause I have seen the prettiest things,
as I drift from town to town.
But girl, it’s the most frightening thing,
the way you make me want to settle down.
Cause your blue eyes
chase me through my nights,
and when morning breaks,
just want to see your face.
Now I’ve been known to break some hearts,
I’m just that kind of man.
I ain’t done a thing yet to hurt you babe,
but I might’ve had a couple planned.
But the fact that you would bounce right back
is what makes me wanna hold you tight.
I never thought I’d grow roots some place,
but you make me start to think that I might.
Cause your blue eyes
chase me through my nights,
and when morning breaks,
just want to see your face.
And I’m promisin’ the whole wide world
when I barely own the clothes on my back.
But I’m tryin’ hard, girl, to follow through.
If you’ll take me, I will be your man.
Cause your blue eyes
chase me through my nights,
and when morning breaks,
just want to see your face.
Pretty lyrics. Who wrote it?
hey thanks! I wrote it a few years ago when I was listening to a lot of Johnny Cash (which hasn’t really stopped btw). I like the whole outlaw semi-redemption, or maybe it’s just a line he uses with all the girls, you don’t really know, right?
That guy definitely earned “ladies man” status
