lyrics

She sings every Saturday in a New England pub
To a crowd that just doesn’t care
To them she sings backup to their pitchers of beer
As she sings of love and despair

Under these lights in her blue jeans and boots
She sings in cliches disguised as truth
As the boys at the bar go blind from their drinks
‘Cause that whiskey it burns, like roses and thorns
But she’s savin’ their souls

And to some these songs, they don’t mean a thing
To some, they mean everything
They can save a life, get a man, to dance with his wife
Oh it’s all…… in the eye,,, of the beholder

The guitar she plays is scratched and worn
The case it smells like the miles she’s torn
Her strings ring out like gold
To a man beyond
The lights who swears
She’s singin’ only to him

And to some these songs, they don’t mean a thing
To some, they mean everything
They can save a life, get a man, to dance with his wife
Oh it’s all…… in the eye,,, of the beholder

And the bartender knows her by name
Pours her drinks with a smile and wave
And he loves her
Like a daughter
That he lost
In, the war……..

Her songs, smooth out the edges
Drag a smile across his face
As she pours her heart out, bleeding on stage
He remembers those nights
Alone in the lights
When he was doing the same

And to some these songs, they don’t mean a thing
To some, they’re an answered prayer
They can save a life, get a man, to dance with his wife
Oh it’s all…… in the eye,,,
Oh it’s all…… all in the eye…
It’s all….in the eye...of the beholder
