I've been out here 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 a 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       chorus:   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          [repeat chorus]         [repeat chorus]
