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
