G D Cadd9 G
Well I was baptized in a bath tub made of cracked up porcelain

In a land between all my friends and all their wicked sin

Cause' we were saved by the color in those young girl's eyes

I found God and myself in those young girl eyes
[Verse 2]

I remember taking you out when we wеre seventeen

With bloodshot eyes and breath that smelled like fireball

You looked at me with a smile that said you'd loved there through it all

Those young girl eyes

I know I'll grow weary, and you'll grow old too

And we'll be sitting there, on a rocking chair for two

And you'll be nagging at me with your skin worn down and dry
G D Cadd9 G
And I'll be telling you how much I love your young girl eyes
