Bloodshot Eyes

If someone asked me which of my unreleased songs they should put on their next alt. country record, I’d probably say this one. I really like the Visine line.

I don’t much like sunshine
Since we’ve been apart
I like it dark and cold, just like the hole
That you left in my heart
I’m not big on mornings
They remind me of you
There’s nothing I can do

Chorus:
It ain’t hard to see
What’s happening to me
Since we’ve been over I can’t stay sober
So I don’t even try
But it’s not what I drank
It’s the tears I can thank
For these bloodshot eyes

I sit in this empty house
And drink the night away
Lately it’s been real tough for me to get up
So I just sleep all day
You can think what you want
I’ve got nothing to prove
Nothing left to lose

Bridge:
They don’t make Visine
For the trouble I’ve seen
There just ain’t no cure
For the grief I endure
Or the tears I have cried
