Doctor My Eyes es la primera canción de Jackson Browne que se convirtió en un éxito. Destaca los desafíos y desilusiones que Browne enfrentó al observar el mundo a su alrededor, reflejando una pérdida de inocencia y el costo de la sabiduría adquirida al enfrentar las realidades a menudo duras de la vida. La canción refleja la sensibilidad única de Browne para capturar la complejidad de las emociones humanas y los dilemas sociales en su escritura.
