Heavy Eyes

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Remember when Mary brought her own drink

Lucas thought he was gonna die

The stars started fallin' out a night cloud

From a clear mid western sky

[Chorus]

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 out lost

It's gettin' cold but that sun is crestin'

And heavy eyes ain't born for restin'

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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 out lost

It's gettin' cold but that sun is crestin'

And heavy eyes ain't born for restin'

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Oh, when I'm old, I will recall

All the nights we spent out lost

It's gettin' cold but that sun is crestin'

And heavy eyes ain't born for restin'
