about

Originally meant to be track 2, this little blues number was reconsidered to be placed at the latter part of the disc. Although it has a nice Beatles vibe to the verses, the lyrics were a bit too dark for the front part of the disc.

I wrote this song about someone else, but it can easily be considered a self-deprecating tune. After all, I do have blue eyes and I am guilty of all these things. Taking the song in that context makes it even darker.

Along with 2 different tambourines, I added a very subtle cowbell to the chorus parts to give the CD a little percussive depth.

Yeah... "I need more cowbell!"... well... not really :)

lyrics

BABY BLUES
(Roush)

Hey baby
What cha trying to prove?
Keep telling all your lies
They're catching up with you

Well hey baby
Who you trying to fool?
You're laughing 'til you cry
But the joke's on you
(That's right)

Falling in and out of lust
You're always chasing around your own tail
Revolve around yourself

One look into
Your baby blues
There's an ocean in your eyes
My Baby Blues
You always lose
When it comes to love
You're blind
So blind

Well hey baby
Can't you see what you do?
You tell 'em all goodbye
Before they say it to you
(So true)

Falling in and out of touch
You're always running away from real love
Don't you love yourself?

My Baby Blues
All you're going through
Always written in your eyes
My Baby Blues
You always lose
'Cause when it comes to love
You're blind
So blind

My my my my baby blues...
My my my my baby blues...

Now when I look into
Your baby blues
Your indigo is not so bright
My Baby Blues
How I once loved you
But when it comes to love
You're blind
So blind

My my my my baby blues
Hooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
My my my my baby blues
