The Captain And The Kid Lyrics
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 your 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
Chorus repeats
