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 There ain´t no grave deep enough Remember all the nights we had Used to say it ain´t so bad Keep those heavy eyes lookin´ up
Remember when Mary brought her own jane Lucas thought he was gonna die The stars started fallin´ out a night cloud From a clear mid western sky
I recall what she said Screamin´ at the skies red It´s burned into a younger man´s mind Remember all the days we had Have to 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 gettin´ cold but that sun is crestin´ And heavy eyes ain´t born for restin´
Who´s gonna drive us home, the boys and me? I walk in staggered vision blur One thing you´re comin´ old, boys back home Live for things like dead man´s curve
I recall what he said He´d rather be gone and dead Than living like those sad folks in town I can take this soul with me If I go, I´m gonna quickly Keep those heavy eyes free and proud Oh, when I´m old, I will recall All the nights we spent outlaws
It´s gettin´ 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 gettin´ cold but that sun is crestin´ And heavy eyes ain´t born for restin´
