Doctor My Eyes é a primeira música de Jackson Browne que se tornou um hit. Ela destaca os desafios e desilusões que Browne enfrentou ao observar o mundo ao seu redor, refletindo uma perda de inocência e o custo da sabedoria adquirida ao enfrentar as realidades muitas vezes duras da vida. A música reflete a sensibilidade única de Browne para capturar a complexidade das emoções humanas e os dilemas sociais em sua escrita.
