Green-Eyed Boy

Lyrics

I flew off to the wild blue yonder
 'Cause I had a dream
 And I had to go
 But I'm filled with a sense of wonder
 From the love I shared
 With a green-eyed boy
 Lips as sweet as mountain honey
 A body warm as home made wine
 But he had no dreams
 And no means for money
 But he had me just anytime
 Take me back, if just in memory
 Fill my cup again with joy
 The fire still burns in the old rock chimney
 And I still burn for that green-eyed boy
 ♪
 Now he was pretty
 With chiseled features
 Like the movie stars in the magazines
 My first love and the son of a preacher
 I fantasized me was James Dean
 But the world outside kept pulling at me
 Offered me fame, respect, and gold
 Designer clothes and a fancy mansion
 Expensive cars, so I chose those
 Take me back, if just in memory
 And fill my cup again with joy
 The fire still burns in the old rock chimney
 And I still burn for that green-eyed boy
 Take me back, if just in memory
 Fill my cup again with joy
 The fire still burns in the old rock chimney
 And the fire still burn (fire still burn) for that green-eyed boy
 Ooh, ooh, how I love that green-eyed boy
 Ooh, ooh, ooh, and I still miss
 That green-eyed boy
 ♪
 Do you think about me
 When the nights are long and cold
 Do you ever miss me
 Do you my green-eyed boy
