Brittany's Blue Eyes
Chasing Memories: Brittany's Blue Eyes Story Unveiled
Lyrics
Walkin' down the highway
Walking along the highway
Thumb out in the road
Extending thumb for hitchhiking
Tryin' to hitchhike back to Nashville
Trying to hitch a ride back to Nashville
On that long lonely way back home
Feeling the long and solitary journey back home
When a girl in a beat up Chevrolet
A girl in a worn-out Chevrolet stopped
Stopped and opened her door
Opened her car door
And her voice took me back a ways
Her voice triggered memories
When she said, "Hey boy, where you goin'?"
Asking the protagonist where he's headed
'Cause she had Brittany's blue eyes
She had eyes resembling those of Brittany
Blue as the summertime skies
Her eyes were as blue as summer skies
I couldn't help but see, every time she looked at me
He couldn't help but notice her resemblance to Brittany
She was a livin', breathin' memory
She was a vivid and living memory of Brittany
I only wanted conversation but I just couldn't ease my mind
The protagonist desired conversation but was unable to calm his thoughts
She made me want to get high, and go back to a better time
She evoked a desire in him to return to a happier time
When I could see forever in Brittany's blue eyes
He reminisces about seeing eternity in Brittany's eyes
It was all I could do to climb in And not stare like a fool
Struggled not to stare foolishly upon entering the car
'Cause every single thing about her
Every detail about her reminded him of home
From her long dark hair down to her boots
Her appearance brought memories of his past
Aw, they made me think about back home
Reflecting on what could have been forever in his past relationship
And how forever could've went
Feeling a sense of loss with the stranger beside him
Yeah, and now I've got this stranger
The stranger was unaware of his personal history
And she don't know where I've been
She was oblivious to his experiences
'Cause she had Brittany's blue eyes
Describing the similarity between her eyes and Brittany's
Blue as the summertime skies
Her eyes held the same deep blue as Brittany's
I couldn't help but see, every time she looked at me
He couldn't ignore the resemblance between them
She was a livin', breathin' memory
She embodied memories of Brittany in his mind
I only wanted conversation but I just couldn't ease my mind
Desiring conversation but struggling with inner turmoil
She made me want to get high, and go back to a better time
She triggered a longing for a better time in his life
When I could see forever in Brittany's blue eyes
Recalling the endless possibilities he saw in Brittany's eyes
Almost into Nashville
Nearing Nashville while it's raining
With the rain coming down
Describing the weather condition
She said I could stay a few more days
She offered him to stay longer
If you don't mind me hangin' around
Asking if he's comfortable with her presence
Oh, but I couldn't let her know
He concealed his emotional struggle from her
I was dyin' inside
Internally suffering but hiding it
So I said goodbye
Parting ways for the second time, feeling like a farewell
For what felt like the second time, to
Continuing to say goodbye to the memory of Brittany
'Cause she had Brittany's blue eyes
Noting the similarity between her eyes and Brittany's
Blue as the summertime skies
Her eyes were reminiscent of Brittany's, a vivid memory
I couldn't help but see, every time she looked at me
Repeating the impact of her gaze as a living memory
She was a livin', breathin' memory
Seeking conversation despite the intertwined lives and circumstances
I only wanted conversation, ain't it funny how two lives entwine
Reflecting on the ironic connection and parting as a reminder of happier times
Tangled up in goodbye, she reminds me of good times
Their farewell is tangled up in the nostalgia of good times
When I could see forever in Brittany's blue eyes
