Heavy Eyes

Remember when David dashed A 12 pack of Budweiser heavy for the road? Two kids in the back drunk off their ass Screaming 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 The stars started falling out of a night cloud From a clear Midwestern sky I recall what she said Screaming that the sky is red Burning to 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 cresting And heavy eyes ain't born for resting Who's gonna drive us home? The boys and me are 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 cresting And heavy eyes ain't born for resting Oh when I'm old I will recall all the nights we spent outlaws It's getting cold but the sun in cresting And heavy eyes ain't born for resting
