Bloodshot Eyes Lyrics

Right before my bloodshot eyes

All my friends slip away

With time all will be okay

I'll make new ones one of these days

Tell me was it something I said

Was I not being a friend

Is this a consequence of mine

Or just a product of time

I wanna thank my dad

For placing his Seagull guitar in my hands

And showing me my first chords

Telling me to start a rock 'n' roll band

Without the sound of his guitar

I don't know who I would be

Dear God let me grow old

And still be able to play

So then it's me and my dads guitars

Just like it always will be

For many years

I defined myself by my tone and gear

Locked away practicing upstairs

Drowning out noise elsewhere

I tune these strings to soothe me (soothe me)

I find a chord that loves me (loves me)

I strum along to heal me (heal me)

I write songs to find the real me

So then it's me and my dads guitars

Just like it always will be

So then it's me and my dads guitars

Just like it always will be

So then it's me and my dads guitars

Just like it always will be

I have all your old guitars and I play them everyday

Their sound is all over this album of mine

When you are gone i'll hold your vintage Silvertone guitar

And think back to the times you'd sing Neil Young songs by the fire

Have I made you proud with the way I play your old guitar

With the way I play your old guitar
