Story Behind the Song
Lyrics
I was there just blindly drinking
I sure wasn't sober, but I wasn't stinking
Idling there in a blissful state of blue
She looked at me with those lashes blinking
Startled me back into thinking
Wondering what the hell I was gonna do
I'm not the kind of man to wander
Got a good life here I don't mean to squander
And I sure don't want to be untrue to you
But every time I looked over yonder
Her eyes got bluer and her hair got blonder
And I started to think I was damn good-looking too
CHORUS:
Now and again God just seems to want to test a man
Set him up and see how much temptation he can stand
Your average guy, I think he knows what's wrong and what is right
But when the wrong's a big-eyed blond
He won't put up much of a fight
Well, the looks got heavy and so did my drinking
My engines revving and my conscience shrinking
Every time she flashed me with those eyes of blue
The room smoked up, but I wasn't blinking
My brain fogged up, then it just stopped thinking
Still not sure what I was gonna do
Bridge:
Honey, I just don't know why you look at me that way
I came home all alone, and I'm damn sure here to stay
I'm talking about temptation and wickedness and fear
I rose above it all, so please don't look at me that way my dear
Well, a hundred times I got up to wander
Told myself there's nothing left to sqander
But my foggy brain kept drifting back to you
Then a man joined her over yonder
His eyes were bluer and his hair was blonder
You know, I even think his teeth were whiter too
So I went back to blindly drinking
Glad I didn't have to come home slinking
Idling back in my blissful state of blue
CHORUS
