[Intro]
F C G Am (x4)
 
[Verse 1]
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
    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
 
[Break]
F  C  G  Am
 
[Verse 2]
F                          C
Remember when Mary brought her own Jane
G                             Am
Lucas thought he was gonna die
    F                        C
The stars started falling out the night clouds
      G                  Am
from a clear midwestern sky
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
 
[Chorus]
             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
 
[Solo]
F C G Am    x2
 
[Verse 3]
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
F
I recall what he said
C
He'd rather be gone than dead
G                               Am
Living like those sad folks in town
F*
I can't take this soul with me
C*
If I go I'm going quickly
G*                             Am
Keep those heavy eyes free and proud
 
[Chorus]
             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
 
[Solo]
F C G Am    x2
 
[Chorus]
             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
