She lives close to the tracks so she never sleeps a wink
The trains run all night, give her plenty time to think
About the love that she had to a man brave and true
And how that love turned bad the way love is bound to do
They’d have candle light meals, they’d drink wine from Bordeaux
They’d make love every night, the moon hung low
But he stopped coming home, he stopped paying the bills
She had to move to this house by the tracks down the hill

Solo

She’d call her mom and her dad but they wouldn’t understand
They’d say what did you do to that hard working man
She’d call her brother down south but he’d never call her back
He’s got his house down a hill next to his own railroad tracks
So what happens now, what should she do
She can’t fall asleep and dream a love brand new
Up in the air she sees birds and planes
You know she’d go anywhere to get away from these trains

Outro

She lives close to the tracks

Greg Trooper – Green Eyed Girl

Capo 1

Wish I had the fastest steed
Running the belmont stakes
After Kentucky and Baltimore
The crown is ours to take
The crown is ours to take

Wish I had a jet airplane
Wings of solid gold
Everyone waiting for me to land
And crying when I go
They’re just crying when I go

Wish I drew an inside straight
Whenever I play my hand
Lay your money down if you dare
But I’m a no time loser man
A no time loser man

Wish I had a stretch of road
That goes for miles and miles
Never have to wonder which way to go
It takes me where the weather is mild
Takes me where the weather is mild

Wish I could shoulder a thousand pounds
Somebody spread the word
Jump in the ring for fifteen rounds
Champion of the world
I’m the champion of the world

Wish I had my green eyed girl
Sitting here by my side
If I had my green eyed girl
I’d be satisfied
I’d be satisfied

Capo 1

Intro – A

Ever since I was a kid in school
And learned all about the golden rule
Even if it blew my cool
I would never lie
And if someone told a fib to me
They’d lose a friend and gain an enemy
But all that changed just recently
Since I fell for her

Chorus:
I love it when she lies to me
Tells me that we’ll always be
Together for eternity
She don’t even have to try
It comes to her so naturally
She bends the truth so easily
When she looks into my eyes and tells me I’m the prize
I love it when she lies

Tonight she’ll tell me once again
I’m her lover and her closest friend
Kiss me deep like it will never end
She’s got nothing to hide
But I might find someone else someday
Who means every single word they say
But honestly honesty
It’s not all that it’s cracked up to be

Chorus
