(Loretta Lynn)

I know he knows I'm bad so why don't he close my eyes

Cause as long as they stay open I can see where my heart lies

It's burried at his beat and when he steps on it it cries

Everybody knows I'm bad so why don't they close my eyes

My blue eyes are open wide and I can see her take my place

I know still I can feel the dirt he's throwin' in my face

He is every breath I breathe so how could I survive

Everybody knows I'm bad so why don't they close my eyes

[ steel ]

My blue eyes are open wide...
