Heavy Eyes
Zach Bryan Lyrics

Remember when David dashed A twelve pack of Budweiser heavy for the road? Two kids in the back, drunk off their ass Screamin' in an old Bronco
Recalling a time with David where he got a twelve pack of Budweiser for the road and two drunk kids can be heard screaming in the old Bronco.

And I recall what she said that she wanted me dead But there ain't no grave deep enough Remember all the nights we had? You said it ain't so bad Keep those heavy eyes looking up

Remember when Mary brought her own Jane? Lucas thought he was gonna die 'Cause stars started fallin' out of a night cloud From a clear Midwestern sky

I recall what she said, screamin' that the sky is red It's burned into a younger man's mind Remember all the days we had? I'd say it ain't so bad Keep those heavy eyes soft and kind
Remembering what she said about the sky being red and how it has burned into his mind from when he was younger. Despite everything, he remembers the good times and tells himself to keep his eyes soft and kind.

Who's gonna drive us home The boys and me? Our walking staggered vision blurred One thing you'll come to know The boys back home live for things like dead man's curve
Wondering who will drive them home, the boys and himself are stumbling and have blurred vision. He knows that the boys back home live for dangerous activities.

I recall what he said, he'd rather be gone and dead Than livin' like those sad folks in town I can't take this soul with me If I go, I'm goin' quickly Keep those heavy eyes free and proud
Remembering what he said about not wanting to live like the sad folks in town and how he would rather be dead. He can't take his soul with him if he goes, so if he does go, he's going quickly. He tells himself to keep his heavy eyes free and proud.

Oh, when I'm old, I will recall All the nights we spent outlaws It's getting cold But that sun is crestin' And heavy eyes ain't born for restin'
