Well, blue jean baby's got big green eyes
Make ya' smile like a Cracker Jack toy surprise
A heart that's made of solid gold

Well she ain't too shy and she ain't too bold
See her comin' better step aside
She's my blue jean baby with big green eyes

My blue jean baby's got long brown hair
When the boys see her they just stop and stare
Just to see a flash of that winnin' smile

Well a country boy would walk a country mile
Got no worries, she ain't got no cares
She's my blue jean baby with long brown hair

Hey Operator get me 9-1-1
Hear daddy's comin with his shotgun

Siren's screamin' blue lights everywhere

And the bad boys know there's some tension in the air
Hit the ground runnin' and I don't mean maybe
Well ya' better not mess with blue jean baby
Interlude / Lead Guitar / Slide GuitarYeah, blue jean baby's gotta red mustang
Convertible top and a lotta bling bling

Pat Green's playin' on the radio
Kid Rock's sittin' there waitin' in the hole (cowboy)
She knows she's bound for fortune and fame

She's my blue jean baby with a red mustang

Hey Operator get me 9-1-1
Momma's sendin' daddy with his shotgun
She'll be there just backin' him up
In her four-wheel-drive Chevy pickup truck

Momma tells the boys that they gotta be crazy
"cause ya' better not mess with the blue jean baby
Hit the ground runnin' and I don't mean maybe
Ya' better not mess with his blue jean baby

Just before Christmas 2005, Mike's youngest daughter, Amanda, (16 at the time) submitted her Christmas wish list with a very unusal gift request. Of course there were normal teeange girl items listed on the sheet but one of the Christmas wishes was for her dad to write a song for her. She had asked before but never on a wish list so Mike decided to sit down and get this done.Anyone who is familiar with Amanda knows that she is vivacious and full of life, always smiling and making friends, so this song had to be something upbeat, something sort of tough and sassy, something that made people feel good and would leave them smiling too.So Mike grabbed his old Fender electric and worked out the chords as the lyrics came to him. Every line was approved by Amanda before it ever went on paper. And in a couple of hours, "Blue Jean Baby" was born.It would still be another 8 months before the demo track was recorded but that was okay with her because she knew the song was written and she knew it was all hers. When "Blue Jean Baby" was finally done, well, it was indeed found to be a country / southern rocker with smokin' guitars including some very phenominal slide work by Sammy Hundley. Mike wanted the song to have a modern jitterbug tone accompanied by the sound of a 1950's Elvis & Jerry Lee slapback on the mic. The results far exceeded Mike's expectations . . . but not Amanda's. She seemed to always know that "Blue Jean Baby" would crank itself out just the way it did. It was a Christmas gift from a dad to a daughter and it turned out to be both timeless and priceless.
Merry Christmas Amanda!
