Eyes for Nobody
Chris Janson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For a guy like me it takes a while
To find something like I found in your smile
When we're about to start standing here today
I'll be by your side no matter what we face

And there's a road, I wanna take you down
Where we can lay roots in the ground
Solid as a rock my word is true
Girl, I got eyes for nobody but you

You can blame that place where I first saw you
Blame how I was raised on the things I do
And I blame your eyes that looked into mine
Oh, but mostly I blame how beautiful you were that night
That's right

There's a road I wanna take you down
Where we can lay roots in the ground
Solid as a rock my word is true
Girl I got eyes for nobody but you

I used to worry about being free
Oh, but I found freedom when you found me

There's a road I wanna take you down
Where we can lay roots in the ground
Solid as a rock my word is true
Girl, I got eyes for nobody but you

There's a road I wanna take you down
Where we can lay roots in the ground
Solid as a rock my word is true
Girl, I got eyes for nobody but you





Nobody but you
Nobody but you
