F                        C
Remember when David dashed
                  G                       Am
A twelve pack of Budweiser heavy for the road
  F                     C
Two kids in the back, drunk off their ass
   G                    Am
Screamin' in an old Bronco

Chorus:
    F
And I recall what she said
  C
That she wanted me dead
      G                         Am
But there ain't no grave deep enough
   F
Remember all the nights we had
C
Used to say it ain't so bad
 G                            Am
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

Chorus:
F
I recall what she said
C
Screaming at the skies red
 G                         Am
Burned into younger man's mind
F
Remember all the days we had
C
I'd say it aint so bad
G                               Am
Keep those heavy eyes soft and kind
            F             C
Oh when I'm old I will recall
         G               Am
All the nights we spent outlaws
              F                  C
It's getting cold, that sun is crestin
       G                  Am
Heavy eyes aint born for restin

F
Whos gonna drive us home
C
The boys and me
     G                        Am
Our walking staggered vision blurred
F
One thing you'll come to know
C
The boys back home
 G                             Am
Live for things like deadman'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 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'
