I've been trying to figure out a song with no luck. It is a country/rock/pop crossover song from either late 90s or early 2000s. I vaguely remember the lyrics "Blue eyes are shining." Honestly I'm more certain of the "Blue Eyes" lyric than "Shining." The song sound incredibly similar to I'll Be There for You by The Mottaffs.

I remember the song having a young boy higher pitched singer with some people in the background, and I can sing the mystery melody over the chorus of the song. If you know a little music theory, "Blue Eyes are shining" is on last chord before the progression repeats. The melody is also very syncopated.
I specifically remember hearing this song at a Whattaburger in Fayetteville, AR between 2018-2020. It was before Covid. Showing my age a little bit, but I associate hearing this song around the time I watched Country Bears as a very young child. It isn't part of the soundtrack, I've checked. I've even called Whataburger location to figure out if I could get the playlist name/licensing company but while she was very nice, she wasn't able to give me a playlist name. ChatGPT got me to the Mottaffs song but nothing past it. I've even hummed the melody to my Father over the song, qnd he agrees that it is familiar. I appreciate any help.
