Remember when David dashed
A twelve pack of Budweiser heavy for the road?
Two kids in the back, drunk off their ass
Screamin' in an old Bronco
And I recall what she said that she wanted me dead
But there ain't no grave deep enough
Remember all the nights we had?
You said it ain't so bad
Keep those heavy eyes looking up
Remember when Mary brought her own Jane?
Lucas thought he was gonna die
'Cause stars started fallin' out of a night cloud
From a clear Midwestern sky
I recall what she said, screamin' that the sky is red
It's burned into a younger man's mind
Remember all the days we had?
I'd say it ain't so bad
Keep those heavy eyes soft and kind
Oh, when I'm old, I will recall
All the nights we spent outlaws
It's getting cold
But that sun is crestin'
And heavy eyes ain't born for restin'
Who's gonna drive us home
The boys and me? Our walking staggered vision blurred
One thing you'll come to know
The boys back home live for things like dead man's curve
I recall what he said, he'd rather be gone and dead
Than livin' like those sad folks in town
I can't take this soul with me
If I go, I'm goin' quickly
Keep those heavy eyes free and proud
Oh, when I'm old, I will recall
All the nights we spent outlaws
It's getting cold
But that sun is crestin'
And heavy eyes ain't born for restin'
Oh, when I'm old, I will recall
All the nights we spent outlaws
It's getting cold
But that sun is crestin'
And heavy eyes ain't born for restin'
