Baby Blue Eyes Lyrics

Remember baby blue eyes
Though she may not remember me
We used to play together
When we were only three

When my age was sixteen
I left home with a troubled mind
Blue eyes set out to grab me
Told her I wasn't her kind

Chugalugalug, gotta get that train
Chugalugalug, I won't miss out again
Chugalugalug, gotta get that train back home
Back home

Strange a mind of sixteen
Thinks it knows all but doesn't at all
Teenager with illusions
Suddenly sick of it all

So I'm leaving in the morning
Goin' back to the place I love
Tall willow trees are weeping
Lazy blue skies up above.

Chugalugalug, gotta get that train
Chugalugalug, I won't miss out again
Chugalugalug, gotta get that train back home
Back home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song - I think about the story behind it every time I hear it and it sticks in my head. It seems to be about a boy and girl who grow up together, probably in a country town. The girl grows to love the guy but he doesn't reciprocate and leaves [for the city?] to sort himself out. After a while, he realises what he is missing and catches a train to take him back to his country home - and maybe to the girl he left behind.
