Lyrics: Josh Rouse. Nashville. Sad Eyes.

Southern star, things are slow
You're watching all these speeding cars, moving like you wish you could
But oh, it's too bad
'Cos they drove away your happiness and good times

But I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay

And sad eyes you are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry you'll be the only one
To make them go away

You're so young and so bored
You are staying now till late 'cos he was what your husband hated
But oh, it's too bad
'Cos he has stolen now all your happiness and good times

But I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay

And sad eyes you are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry you'll be the only one
To make them go away
Yeah you could make them go away

It took a lot of tears, but oh, you had to find those
Sympathetic years the ones you left behind him
It took a lot of tears, but oh, you had to find those
Sympathetic years the ones you left behind him

I'm gonna get you into the light
And I'm gonna find a way that is right
And I'm gonna get you into the light
And make it okay

And sad eyes you are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry you'll be the only one
To make them go away, yeah

Sad eyes you are the only one whose
Whose blue skies are gray
So don't cry you'll be the only one
To make them go away
Things are gonna go away
Yeah they're gonna go your way
All about to go your way
