• Ashley Cooke plays coy in this song, letting her man know that if he keeps looking at her like that with his baby blue eyes, there's no way they're going to make their reservation because they'll be unmaking the bed.
  
  It's a fun song she wrote on a retreat with Seth Ennis, Kyle Sturrock, Johnny Clawson, and Joe Fox. Cooke told the story on the Off The Record podcast.
  
  "We went to Smith Lake in Alabama and had the best time," she said. "They are all some of my great friends, so we were just hanging out, having fun. None of us are heavy drinkers, but we were just having a good time on this retreat. We were getting into all the stuff that the publishing company gave us and having a good time. We had started a song the first day of the retreat called 'Raised Running' that's not on the record - it's a song about my life and warning somebody not to get attached because I'm raised running, I'm raised all over the country. I was raised moving around.
  
  So we halfway finished the song on the first day, and wrote a whole bunch of songs throughout the retreat. It's the last day of the retreat, and we wake up very hungover.
  We're fighting for our lives. We jump in the lake in January just to jolt our brains a little bit, and we're like, we got to finish that 'Raised Running' song before the end of this retreat, just so we can check it off and send in the songs. We're writing this very hungover, trying to figure it out. And Seth Ennis in the room was like, 'What if it's a line like, 'Baby, put those baby blues away before you get attached to me?'' And we all were like, 'That's a cool song idea.' We all started singing along this almost Motowny feel-good, 'Baby, put those baby blues away,' and we just start writing the song. It just fell out into our laps and became my favorite song on that retreat."
• When Cooke performs this song, she'll often pick out a blue-eyed guy from the audience and sing it directly to him. "It's just me on stage, seeing somebody cute with blue eyes who's singing the song pretty loud," she told Off The Record. "And I'm like, 'Hey man, I'll serenade you.'"
• The song was released as a single in November 2025 ahead of Cooke's fourth album. The track was produced by Dann Huff, whose many credits include the Rascal Flatts version of "Life Is A Highway" and Riley Green's "Think As You Drunk."
