The song "Christian Eyes" by Max Jury is about a forbidden romance between two young lovers. The narrator speaks to his lady love who is being restricted by her father's strict rules. He is dressed in his best suit and is ready to have a good time with his girl. The lyrics speak of their desire to dance together all night long and make her father lose his mind. The narrator wants to spend time with his love, but her father wants her home early. However, if the narrator had his way, they would stay out all night and dance together in the firelight. The references to Gram Parsons and Patsy Cline invoke the imagery of classic country music and the romance and passion that goes with it. The title, "Christian Eyes," suggests that the girl's father may be very religious and conservative, which may explain why he wants her home by nine. However, the narrator is not deterred by this and wants to sweep his lady love off her feet. The song is a romantic and passionate ode to forbidden love. The lyrics suggest that the couple is willing to take risks and go against the rules to be together. The imagery of turning water into wine suggests that their love has the power to transform and create something beautiful out of something ordinary.
