I´ve been out on this road some Can´t help feeling I´ve been showing my friends around I´ve seen it growing from next to nothing Into a giant eating up your town
Called up the tealeaves and the tarots Asked the gypsy what she sees in the palm of our hands She saw a mountain and wild deer running A crazy kid becoming a better man
But we stuck around for the fireworks Waiting to explode Shaped our futures, you a tumbleweed And me on a yellow brick road Pleasing the people some of the time For better or for worse An urban soul in a fine silk Suit And a heart out west in a Wrangler shirt
[Chorus:] And you can´t go back and if you try it fails
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale" And that´s what we did No lies at all just one more tale About the Captain and the Kid
We´ve been missing at times in action Can´t imagine what he said he might do for you The devil got to come to the party sometimes But he never got to wear our shoes
Oh we´ve conjured up what we created Way back then when I was standing up in six-inch heels Now you´re riding off into the sunset And I´m still spinning like a Catherine wheel
But we stuck around for the battle
Waiting for a plan To turn you into the Brown Dirt Cowboy And me into a rocket man It pleases the people some of the time Digging into our roots But I got a brand new pair of shoes And you´re on a horse in old cowboy boots
