Baby Blues words and music by Rob Button, ©1997

E

I once was regarded as the king of the Range

A E

But lately I have noticed I have begun to change

C#m B A E

There's a shift in how I act, I do not understand

A E A B7

My life has not turned out exactly how I planned

 

For quite some time I've been out on the prowl

It's not that I've stopped, what's changed is the "How"

I used to look for super-models with killer suntans

But I've moved on to soccer moms with their mini-vans

A B A B E

You know, my eyes are brown, so how do I have these baby blues?

 

You see, I'm searchin' for a babe, though it isn't quite the same

All my beer drinkin' buddies would think I'm kind of lame

But I can't seem to find them, to tell them I don't want to play

For they're at home with their babies, every night and every day.

 

It used to be that burping would bring nothing but trouble

But now she hands me baby and we do it on the double

Instead of laying around the house, I'm cooking and I'm cleaning,

and Pulling an all-nighter has taken on new meaning

I was born with brown eyes, So tell me

where did I get these baby blues?

 

I'm still filled with desire for a bottle in my fist,

But it's formula and no longer beer that turns up my wrist

My mind's full of pictures, not of cars, but of little shoes

I'm looking all around, all I see are pinks and blues.

I'm spending my time searching for those elusive clues,

My eyes have always been brown, so tell me

where I got these baby blues?
