I´ve been out on this road some
Can´t help feeling I´ve been showing my friends around
I´ve seen it growing from next to nothing
Into a giant eating up your town

Called up the tealeaves and the tarots
Asked the gypsy what she sees in the palm of our hands
She saw a mountain and wild deer running
A crazy kid becoming a better man

But we stuck around for the fireworks
Waiting to explode
Shaped our futures, you a tumbleweed
And me on a yellow brick road
Pleasing the people some of the time
For better or for worse
An urban soul in a fine silk Suit
And a heart out west in a Wrangler shirt

[Chorus:]
And you can´t go back and if you try it fails
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale"
And that´s what we did
No lies at all just one more tale
About the Captain and the Kid

We´ve been missing at times in action
Can´t imagine what he said he might do for you
The devil got to come to the party sometimes
But he never got to wear our shoes

Oh we´ve conjured up what we created
Way back then when I was standing up in six-inch heels
Now you´re riding off into the sunset
And I´m still spinning like a Catherine wheel

But we stuck around for the battle
Waiting for a plan
To turn you into the Brown Dirt Cowboy
And me into a rocket man
It pleases the people some of the time
Digging into our roots
But I got a brand new pair of shoes
And you´re on a horse in old cowboy boots

[Chorus 2x]
