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
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
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
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
