F C G Am ( x4 )
πΈ Verse 1:
F C
Remember when David dashed a twelve pack
G Am
Of Budweiser heavy for the road?
F C
Two kids in the back, drunk off their ass
G Am
Screamin' in an old Bronco
πΈ Chorus:
F
And I recall what she said
C
That she wanted me dead
G Am
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

F C G Am
πΈ Verse 2:
F C
Remember when Mary brought her own drink
G Am
Lucas thought he was gonna die
F C
The stars started fallin' out a night cloud
G Am
From a clear mid western sky
πΈ Chorus:
F
I recall what she said
C
Screamin' at the skies red
G Am
It's burned into a younger man's mind
F
Remember all the days we had
C
Have to say it ain't 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 out lost
F C
It's gettin' cold but that sun is crestin'
G Am
And heavy eyes ain't born for restin'

F C
Who's gonna drive us home, the boys and me?
G Am
I walk in staggered vision blur
F C
One thing you're comin' old, boys back home
G Am
Live for things like dead man's curve
πΈ Chorus:
F
I recall what he said
C
He'd rather be gone and dead
G Am
Than living like those sad folks in town
F
I can take this soul with me
C
If I go
I'm gonna quickly
G Am
Keep those heavy eyes free and proud
F C
Oh, when I'm old
I will recall
G Am
All the nights we spent out lost
F C
It's gettin' cold but that sun is crestin'
G Am
And heavy eyes ain't born for restin'
