Heavy Eyes

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'
