1
I've been out on this road some
2
Can't help feeling I've been showing my friends around
3
I've seen it growing from next to nothing
4
Into a giant eating up your town
5
Called up the tealeaves and the tarots
6
Asked the gypsy what she sees in the palm of our hands, oh, yeah
7
She saw a mountain and wild deer running
8
A crazy kid becoming a better man
9
But we stuck around for the fireworks
10
Waiting to explode
11
Shaped our futures, you a tumbleweed
12
And me on a yellow brick road
13
Pleasing the people some of the time
14
For better or for worse
15
An urban soul in a fine silk suit
16
And a heart out west in a Wrangler shirt
17
And you can't go back, and if you try it fails
18
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
19
A sign hanging from it saying, 'Truth for sale'
20
And that's what we did, no lies at all, just one more tale
21
About the captain and the kid
22
We've been missing at times in action
23
Can't imagine what he said he might do for you, oh, yeah
24
The devil got to come to the party sometimes
25
But he never got to wear our shoes
26
Oh, we've conjured up what we created
27
Way back then when I was standing up in six-inch heels
28
Now you're riding off into the sunset
29
And I'm still spinning like a Catherine wheel
30
But we stuck around for the battle
31
Waiting for a plan
32
To turn you into the brown dirt cowboy
33
And me into a rocket man
34
It pleases the people some of the time
35
Digging into our roots
36
But I got a brand new pair of shoes
37
And you're on a horse in old cowboy boots
38
And you can't go back, and if you try it fails
39
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
40
A sign hanging from it saying, 'Truth for sale'
41
And that's what we did, no lies at all, just one more tale
42
About the captain and the kid
43
No, you can't go back, and if you try it fails
44
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
45
A sign hanging from it saying, 'Truth for sale'
46
And that's what we did, no lies at all, just one more tale
47
About the captain and the kid
