Remember when david dashed

A twelve 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.
