[00:25.01]I ve been out on this road some
[00:26.90]Can t help feeling I ve been showing my friends around
[00:32.39]I ve seen it growing from next to nothing
[00:38.18]Into a giant eating up your town
[00:47.28]Called up the tealeaves and the tarots
[00:50.31]Asked the gypsy what she sees in the palm of our hands
[00:58.81]She saw a mountain and wild deer running
[01:02.11]A crazy kid becoming a better man
[01:10.42]But we stuck around for the fireworks
[01:13.30]Waiting to explode
[01:16.18]Shaped our futures, you a tumbleweed
[01:19.48]And me on a yellow brick road
[01:21.92]Pleasing the people some of the time
[01:25.25]For better or for worse
[01:27.80]An urban soul in a fine silk Suit
[01:30.59]And a heart out west in a Wrangler shirt
[01:36.62]And you can t go back and if you try it fails
[01:42.35]Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
[01:46.82]A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale"
[01:52.52]And that s what we did
[01:55.40]No lies at all just one more tale
[02:00.53]About the Captain and the Kid
[02:09.74]We ve been missing at times in action
[02:12.48]Can t imagine what he said he might do for you
[02:17.13]The devil got to come to the party sometimes
[02:24.30]But he never got to wear our shoes
[02:32.70]Oh we ve conjured up what we created
[02:35.79]Way back then when I was standing up in six-inch heels
[02:43.86]Now you re riding off into the sunset
[02:47.56]And I m still spinning like a Catherine wheel
[02:55.99]But we stuck around for the battle
[02:58.87]Waiting for a plan
[03:01.92]To turn you into the Brown Dirt Cowboy
[03:05.26]And me into a rocket man
[03:07.72]It pleases the people some of the time
[03:10.93]Digging into our roots
[03:13.54]But I got a brand new pair of shoes
[03:15.61]And you re on a horse in old cowboy boots
[03:21.65]And you can t go back and if you try it fails
[03:26.58]Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
[03:33.10]A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale"
[03:38.95]And that s what we did
[03:41.99]No lies at all just one more tale
[03:45.36]About the Captain and the Kid
[03:54.13]And you can t go back and if you try it fails
[03:59.47]Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
[04:05.14]A sign hanging from it saying "Truth for sale"
[04:10.57]And that s what we did
[04:13.91]No lies at all just one more tale
[04:17.81]About the Captain and the Kid
