Lyrics
I recall my first time being, visibly moved
Moved by a blind man singing, singing the blues
I was green with envy until I realized
Just like me, the blues are color blind
(you see) The feel of a woman in the heat of the night
Gone the next morning and no where in site
That cold old empty feeling of easy come, easy go
It's just as hard, on an old, blue eyed soul
I've been blue, I've been lonely, bent and broke
Lost in the whiskey, choked on the smoke
But when I'm singing, I know God looks down his nose,
And He smiles, down on my, blue eyed soul
I'll be swimming, don't you know, when I'm on my last lap around the bowl
But it won't be all she wrote, till I sing my last note
I'll be just an old, blue eyed soul
