Story Behind The Song

The line about auburn hair and deep green eyes would not leave my head until I put a song around it. Like most songwriters, I do what the voices in my head tell me to do, and "debbie" is the result.

Song Description

This song explores the concept of "impulsive behavior". The act may be done on impulse, but it comes from many other issues, deeply rooted in a person over time. This example deals with a young, macho boy and his immature ideas on what love is, but the underlying moral issue is much more universal. Everyone has made a bad, impulsive decision in their lives & lived to regret it. I just hope it wasn't as permanent as this guy's!

Lyrics

DEBBIE (Written By: Michael H. Fuller ? Decenber 9th , 2004)

MY DEBBIE HAD AUBURN HAIR AND DEEP GREEN EYES

A HEART OF PURE GOLD AND A BODY THAT MADE ME

A LITTLE TOO JEALOUS OF THE OTHER GUYS

I HAD TO DO SOMETHIN? ? TO SHOW HER SHE?S MINE


SHE SAID SHE LOVED ONLY ME - AND SHE?D LOVE ME FOREVER

I GUESS I WASN?T LISTENIN? CAUSE I FELT LIKE I HAD TO DO
SOMETHIN? TO PROVE I?M A MAN AND I DESERVE HER

I?D GET HER A RING

COME HELL OR HIGH WATER


A COCKY YOUNG BOY THAT THINKS HE?S A MAN

WITH A CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER AND A GUN IN HIS HAND

DON?T MAKE ? THE BEST DECISIONS


NOW KILLIN? THAT MAN WASN?T PART OF THE PLAN

HE SHOULDA? GAVE ME THE RING DIDN?T HE UNDERSTAND

I WAS DOIN? ? WHAT I HAD TO DO


I TOOK HIS LIFE BUT I DIDN?T GET THE RING

WHAT MEANT SO MUCH THEN NOW DON?T MEAN A THING

?CAUSE I DIDN?T GET DEBBIE - I GOT LIFE INSTEAD


NOW THIS PRISON IN MY MIND - WON?T LET IT BE OVER

I GOT THE REST OF MY LIFE TO THINK ABOUT THE ONE
SECOND THAT I WASN?T EVEN THINKIN? AT ALL

THE ONLY PEACE I GET

IS WHEN I DREAM OF DEBBIE


A HEART OF PURE GOLD AND A BODY THAT MADE ME

A LITTLE TOO JEALOUS OF THE OTHER GUYS

I HAD TO DO SOMETHIN? ? TO SHOW HER SHE?S MINE


MY DEBBIE HAS AUBURN HAIR AND DEEP GREEN EYES . . .
