Lonely Eyes Lyrics

Tuesday night crowded bar
Some guy lights a cheap cigar
Bartender yells at him
So he walks out and you walk in
Right through that cloud of smoke
Catcalls and dirty jokes
Scan the room a couple times
Find a seat right next to mine

Lonely Eyes
Well, it sure looks like
You just might
Be looking for something
For something, whoa
Look at me
And I think you'll see
Those lonely eyes
Don't have to be alone tonight

They analyze your glass of wine
Roll away a pickup line
Now and then they check your phone
Catch mine and let 'em go
From the little bit I've seen
They're the perfect shade of green
Next time they come my way,
Heaven help me, make 'em stay

Lonely eyes
Well, it sure looks like
You just might
Be looking for something
For something, whoa
Look at me
And I think you'll see
Those lonely eyes
Don't have to be alone tonight

Don't make me pay my tab, catch a cab
Go home and kick myself to sleep tonight
Gimme a sign, just a smile
Baby, I'll be glad to lose myself deep inside
Lonely eyes

Lonely eyes
Sure looks like
You just might
Be looking for something
For something, whoa
Look at me
And I think you'll see
Those lonely eyes
They don't have to be alone tonight

Lonely eyes, you don't have to be alone tonight

Lonely Eyes Song Chart

This ballad tells the story of a guy spotting a beautiful girl from across the bar and trying to get her attention. Young sings during the chorus:

Lonely eyes
It sure looks like
You just might
Be looking for something, for something
Look at me
And I think you'll see
Those lonely eyes don't have to be alone tonight

The song was written by Johnny Bulford (Lee Brice's "A Woman Like You"), Laura Veltz (Eli Young Band's "Drunk Last Night") and Jason Matthews (Billy Currington's "Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right").

The many hours that Chris Young has spent in one of his favorite local bars was one of his reasons for choosing to cut this song. "I've spent my fair share of time at Losers (Bar & Grill) in Nashville," he admitted. "As a songwriter I like to always be observing the world around me because you never know where you'll find inspiration, and I've seen moments like what I sing about in 'Lonely Eyes' go down all the time."

"I've always said the best song wins," Young added, "and the soaring melody and smart lyrics of this song grabbed me from the first time I heard it."

The music video was directed by Adam Rothlein, who also worked on The Avett Brothers' "Another Is Waiting" clip. The visual was shot at The Cannery in Nashville and finds Chris Young performing the song as a beautiful woman looks on.
