In the video, Young is shown with his guitar in hand performing the song as the girl looks on. 'I've spent my fair share of time at Losers (Bar & Grill) in Nashville,"� Young admitted in a press release earlier this year. 'As a songwriter I like to always be observing the world around me because you never know where you'll find inspiration, and I've seen moments like what I sing about in 'Lonely Eyes' go down all the time."�

While the subject matter and the setting did grab his attention, Young admitted that wasn't the only reason he chose to cut the song. 'I've always said the best song wins, and the soaring melody and smart lyrics of this song grabbed me from the first time I heard it."�
