Brown-Eyed Lily

Intro

(Whoa-oh) Happy birthday, darlin' Lily

Brown eyes shinin' like the mornin' sun

Verse

Twenty-five years ago, you came into this world

Kickin' up dust on that old dirt road

With your mama's smile and your daddy's fight

Runnin' barefoot through the summer nights

Now you're chasin' dreams in that big city hum

New York lights callin', but your heart's still from

The holler where the fireflies dance

Miss you here, but girl, you're doin' us proud

Chorus

Happy birthday, my brown-eyed Lily

Twenty-five and lightin' up the sky

From the country lanes to the skyscrapers high

You're my pride, my joy, yeah you're flyin' free

Happy birthday, sweet Lily

(Oh Lily, Lily) yeah, happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, my brown-eyed girl

Verse

Concrete jungle, but you wear it well

Sippin' coffee black at the break of dawn

Hustlin' hard with that fire in your soul

Brown eyes sparklin', takin' full control

We raise a glass from the porch swing seat

To the girl who left but never skipped a beat

Boots on the ground or heels on the town

You're growin' strong, never backin' down

Chorus

Happy birthday, my brown-eyed Lily

Twenty-five and lightin' up the sky

From the country lanes to the skyscrapers high

You're my pride, my joy, yeah you're flyin' free

Happy birthday, sweet Lily

(Oh Lily, Lily) yeah, happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, my brown-eyed girl

Bridge

Here's to more miles, more laughs, more tears

May the good Lord keep you through the years

Love you forever, from this old farmstead

To your New York heartbeat

Chorus

Happy birthday, my brown-eyed Lily

Twenty-five and lightin' up the sky

From the country lanes to the skyscrapers high

You're my pride, my joy, yeah you're flyin' free

Happy birthday, sweet Lily

(Oh Lily, Lily) yeah, happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, my brown-eyed girl

Happy birthday, my brown-eyed girl

Outro

(Whoa-oh) Happy birthday, darlin' Lily

Brown eyes shinin'... yeah, shinin' on
