Lyrics

HER EYES SPARKLED (2003) 
V1
 Unlike most teenage girls
 Charlene always had an  unexplained ambition
To drive the four-lane near   town 
Like there was somethin' more that  she’d bin  missin'

V2
She’d lean out on the overpass
Starin and listenin' to her dream below
Fin’lly bought an fixer pick up truck,
Her eyes lit up when she made the engine roar.

 Chorus
Her eyes sparkled that amazing day
Rollin down I-eleven 
If every day could  be like this 
let it go on forever

V3 
Charlene heard on her CB
An old trucker said “break this is Firefly”
She said, “this ain’t very fair
“Sir that’s my handle”,… “Sorry” he replied.
 
Bridge
He told her  sixteen  years ago his wife and he split up.
Their baby  he called  Firefly the  way her eyes lit  up. 

Chorus2
Her eyes sparkled that amazing day
They'll meet at exit 7. 
If every day could be like this 
Let it go on forever

Chorus 3
Her eyes sparkled that amazing day
They hugged at exit 7. 
Now every day can be like this 
Let it go on forever
