Wild Eyes
Stampeders Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wild Eyes I can't look away from your Wild Eyes
Wild Eyes I'm blind to the day from your Wild Eyes
Wild Eyes I'm hypnotized by your Wild Eyes
Wild Eyes My soul cries for your Wild Eyes
Evil knows I fell
In your evil spell

Wild Eyes as blue as the skies they was Wild Eyes
Wild Eyes a wicked disguise they was Wild Eyes
Wild Eyes burnin' with fire Wild Eyes
Wild Eyes filled with desire your Wild Eyes
Let me rest awhile
Near your fiery smile

Wild Eyes I'm comin' to get you now Wild Eyes
Wild Eyes I'm willin' to let you now Wild Eyes
Wild Eyes I'm takin' you home with me Wild Eyes
Wild Eyes I've got to be alone with your Wild Eyes
Evil knows I fell




In your evil spell
I fell for your Wild Eyes

@murrayd7259

Saw them perform last night (Apr22.2023) in Brandon, Mb. Sounded great. Pretty cool they still perform after over 55 years!

@jtf2dan

I lived in Shilo with my parents from 1968-1972 and we used to drive to Brandon each weekend to visit my grandparents who lived there. Interestingly it was during these road trips that I first heard "Wild Eyes" on the radio in 1971-1972. That guitar riff stood out the first time I heard it....and I still love it to this day!

@That70sGuitarist

Wowed that this song still works, some 50 years later. I would love to perform this live sometime!

@daniellovell7606

Good luck. It's hard!

@That70sGuitarist

@@daniellovell7606 Not that hard, really. My kid brother's garage band figured it out in no time flat. It's actually a pretty easy song to play, at least on electric guitar.

Now, for something a little more challenging, try out Babe Ruth's "The Mexican." That one took me all of 15 or 20 minutes to figure out!🤣
