"Heavy Eyes" lyrics - ZACH BRYAN
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
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:]
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'
[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 outlaws
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 outlaws
It's gettin' cold but that sun is crestin'
And heavy eyes ain't born for restin'
