Story Behind The Song
First song of my own which was born of collaboration with the great Jon Christink -- that's him on backing vocal and slide. Written over pints in his living room and recorded with pints in my basement.

Lyrics
YOU DON'T HAVE TO OPEN UP
AND ITS NOT UP TO YOU
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
YOU DON'T WANT TO
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TURN IT UP
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SETTLE UP
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
YOU DON'T WANT TO
TWO HOURS TO GO
YOUR BLUE EYES WILL CLOSE
ITS ALRIGHT, GO HOME
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE IT UP
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH IT
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
YOU DON'T WANT TO
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAVE UP
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP THE PRICE
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
YOU DON'T WANT TO
TWO HOURS TO GO
YOUR BLUE EYES WILL CLOSE
ITS ALRIGHT, GO HOME
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUILD IT UP
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BIG IT UP
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
YOU DON'T WANT TO
YOU DON'T HAVE OPEN UP
ITS NOT UP TO YOU
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
YOU DON'T WANT TO
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE IT UP
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
YOU DON'T WANT TO
TWO HOURS TO GO
YOUR BLUE EYES WILL CLOSE
ITS ALRIGHT, GO HOME
YOUR BLUE EYES WILL CLOSE
TWO HOURS TO GO
ITS ALRIGHT
