Tired Eyes (Live from The Roxy 1973) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well he shot four men in a cocaine deal
And he left them lyin' in an open field
Full of old cars with bullet holes in the mirrors
He tried to do his best but he could not

[Chorus]
Please take my advice, please take my advice
Please take my advice
Open up the tired eyes
Open up the tired eyes

[Verse 2]
Well, it wasn't supposed to go down that way
But they burnеd his brother, you know
And they left him lyin' in thе driveway
They let him down and they left him with nothin'
Even though he tried to do his best but he could not

[Chorus]
Well please take my advice, please take my advice, please take my advice
Please take my advice
Open up the tired eyes
Open up the tired eyes

[Verse 3]
Well tell me more, tell me more, tell me more, tell me more
I'd like to hear more
Can you tell me more?
Tell me more, tell me more
Tell me more
I mean, was he a heavy doper or was he just a loser?
I mean he was a friend of yours
He was a friend of yours
What do you mean, he had bullet holes in his mirrors?
He tried to do his best but he could not
[Chorus]
Please take my advice, please take my advice, please take my advice
Please take my advice
Open up the tired eyes
Open up the tired eyes

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
